About Mr Julian Speight

I trained at St Thomas’ Hospital in London and then gained my Fellowship to the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh in 1999. I came out to New Zealand for a year in 1996 as part of my Edinburgh Fellowship, and was taken by the beauty of the landscape and the friendliness of New Zealanders. After I’d gained my Edinburgh Fellowship I emigrated to New Zealand and joined the training scheme for the Australasian College of Surgeons.

I gained my Fellowship to the Australasian College of Surgeons in 2007, and then spent a further year working at the Royal United Hospital (RUH) Bath, UK. In Bath I gained additional training in colorectal surgery, particularly in laparoscopic bowel surgery.

I returned to New Zealand in 2008 to take up my position as Consultant General Surgeon here in Invercargill. I am a senior clinical lecturer for the Otago Medical School, and teach both medical students and trainee surgeons. I am also on the executive committees of both the New Zealand Association of General Surgeons (NZAGS) and the Rural Surgery Section (RSS) of the Australasian College of Surgeons.

I am married with 3 young children. In my spare time I enjoy tramping and skiing. I have developed a keen interest in wilderness and expedition medicine and am one of the directors of WildMed, providing wilderness medicine courses here in New Zealand.
