The end of an era!

Professor Chris Pyke performed his final private practice operating list last week.

Chris commenced surgical training in 1984, and trained under my father (Ray Lancashire) at the Mater Hospital! He undertook post-fellowship training at the Mayo Clinic (USA) and the Nottingham Breast Unit (UK). On return to Australia, he set up private practice at the Mater Private Hospital in 1991. Chris took up a position as senior lecturer with The University of Queensland and completed a PhD in breast cancer risk quantification. He also completed a post-graduate diploma in oncoplastic breast surgery.

Chris was the Director of Surgery, and my own Consultant (boss!) at the Mater Hospital when I was a surgical trainee.

Chris’ achievements are immense - to list them all is impossible. He has had roles as the Vice President of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, and their Chairman for the Court of Examiners. He spent 4 years as the president of BreastSurgANZ and has been the Chairman of the Board for the Foundation for Breast Cancer Care. Chris chairs the Mater Private Breast Cancer Multidisciplinary Team Meeting, has led studies with Mater Research, and is a passionate fundraiser for the Mater Foundation.

Chris is not only a talented surgeon and great colleague, but also a compassionate and hilarious person (if you love “dad jokes” 🤣).

He looks forward to continuing his role as the Director of Medical Services and hopefully spending more time with his family.

It’s been a pleasure and an honour to work with him over the years. Congratulations Professor Pyke!
