Neil Patel — 3 September 2025

Pete has been an inspiration for me since I had the wonderful good fortune to meet him twenty years ago, as a young doctor at RCH. He had me laughing of course from our first interaction, from there I came quickly to appreciate his very exceptional clinical skills, humility and unwavering dedication to his patients, their families and his colleagues. Pete and Margs kindness and generosity meant so much to us. I feel truly blessed to count Pete as a mentor and a friend whose legacy is the example he set me, and so many others, to love, to care, to laugh, and to live life to the fullest.
