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

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.
