After decades of dedicated service to the Wellington community, respected ophthalmologist Dr Neil Aburn is retiring.

Renowned for his compassionate approach and clinical excellence, Dr Aburn has transformed the lives of countless patients, not only restoring vision, but offering reassurance, clarity, and confidence along the way. His commitment to precision, patient education, and continual advancement in ophthalmology has helped shape the standard of care across the region.

Dr Aburn’s impact extends well beyond his patients. The team at Bowen Hospital will sincerely miss his consideration, collegiality, and respect for the wider surgical and clinical teams who supported his work.

While he will be greatly missed, Dr Aburn leaves behind an enduring legacy in Wellington. We thank him for his years of outstanding service and wish him every happiness in his well-earned retirement.

After many years of dedicated service Mr Burton King, General Surgeon specialising in breast cancer management will be retiring. Over more than a decade at Bowen Hospital’s The Breast Centre, Burton has built a legacy of exceptional care, combining expertise in breast cancer management with a deep commitment to patients wellbeing.

As Mr King retires we acknowledge and celebrate his incredible contributions to both medicine and service and the impact he has made in the lives of patients, colleagues and the broader community. We wish him all the very best as he and Hewa embark on a new life chapter.

The Breast Centre will continue with Drs Alex Brown and Dan Cocker continuing Burton’s legacy.

Celebrating Dr. John Wyeth: Honoured with the Master of APAGE Award

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. John Wyeth has been awarded the Master of APAGE Award at the Asian Pacific Digestive Disease Week (APDW) in Singapore, November 2025. This prestigious recognition is the highest award bestowed by the Asian Pacific Association of Gastroenterology (APAGE), and it is a testament to Dr. Wyeth’s exceptional contributions to the field of gastroenterology and his enduring impact on the global medical community.

For over 60 years, APAGE has been at the forefront of advancing digestive health across the Asia Pacific region, representing countries that constitute more than 50% of the global population. The Master of APAGE Award honors those senior gastroenterologists who have played a pivotal role in the growth of the specialty and have demonstrated unwavering dedication to clinical practice, education, and research.

Dr. Wyeth has been a long-time supporter of APAGE, attending and presenting at its meetings for many years. His research and educational papers have not only advanced our understanding of digestive health but have also inspired countless gastroenterology trainees to push the boundaries of knowledge. As a Council Member for APAGE for 8 years, Dr. Wyeth has mentored future leaders in the field, and his support for the organization’s goals has been invaluable.

A Glimpse Into Dr. Wyeth’s Remarkable Career:
• MBChB (Otago), FRACP, FRCP, MD (Dietary Fibre and Fermentation in the Colon)
• Private practice in Wellington and working at Wairarapa and Hawkes Bay Public Hospitals
• Former President of the New Zealand Society of Gastroenterology (NZSG)
• Former Clinical Leader for Gastroenterology in Wellington
• Former Medical Director of PHARMAC, New Zealand’s drug funding agency
• Founding Board Member of Crohn’s Colitis NZ

Dr. Wyeth’s clinical interests include Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and motility, and he has devoted years to clinical research and medical student teaching. His unwavering commitment to improving patient care, advancing research, and supporting the next generation of gastroenterologists makes this award so well-deserved.
Congratulations, Dr. Wyeth! Your leadership and dedication have set a standard of excellence in gastroenterology that will inspire generations to come.
