Professor John Fitzpatrick, distinguished academic urologist, Emeritus Professor of Surgery at the University College Dublin (UCD) School of Medicine & Medical Science, former Consultant Urologist and Chairman of the Division of Surgery at Mater Misericordiae University Hospital (MMUH), Dublin, and Head of Research at the Irish Cancer Society, sadly passed away earlier this year.
He was an academic clinician / scientist of distinction, advancing surgical techniques and urology training throughout his career.
Professor Fitzpatrick developed enduring professional connections across the UK and Europe, North America, and Australasia earning a reputation on the global stage seldom before afforded to an Irish surgeon.
Professor’s research interests were wide and varied, including Prostate Cancer. He was a founding member of the Prostate Cancer Research Consortium, a groundbreaking collaboration between UCD, TCD, RCSI, DCU, and their affiliated teaching hospitals. His publications in the Prostate Cancer arena spanned the entire spectrum from the bench to the bedside. He performed open and robotic surgeries in a career of over 1,000 radical prostatectomies.
