Dr Alasdair Patrick is a New Zealand-trained Gastroenterologist who, after extensive international experience, returned to NZ to join CMDHB in 2007. He founded the Macmurray Centre in 2009, which is now New Zealand's largest and only comprehensive endoscopy and digestive disease service.

In response to feedback from his patients, Dr Patrick co-founded HealthFX in 2019, which develops NZ-made products for weight management, nutrition and gut health. In 2020 he introduced Stretta and Restech to New Zealand.
