Peter was born in Liverpool, England. He immigrated to Hamburg, Germany with his family at age 4 and completed his school education there. He served eighteen years in the German Army as a medical officer. During this time, he studied Medicine in Berlin, Germany at the world-renowned Humboldt University (founded 1810) /Charité Hospital Campus (founded 1710) and graduated in 1999.
After graduation from medical school and still serving the military, he pursued his interests to become an internationally trained surgeon. He began his surgical training in Hamburg, then he was stationed at the German Army Hospital in Ulm, then served six months in Landstuhl, Germany at the US Military Hospital and cared for injured soldiers returning from Afghanistan. To complete his specialist training in Orthopaedics and Trauma, he left the military to work and train at the Kaiserslautern Westfaltz Hospital, one of the largest Orthopaedic/Trauma Centers in Germany. It was there, in 2011, that he garnered his certification as ‘Specialist for Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery’.
In 2012 Peter was selected for a fellowship in Hip and Knee Surgery at The Royal Bournemouth Hospital in the UK (3rd largest joint replacement facility in the UK). In 2013, he was awarded his FRCS and was selected for a subsequent fellowship in Hip and Knee Surgery. After the fellowships at The Royal Bournemouth Hospital, he continued to work there as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon.
In 2015 Peter and his family moved to Palmerston North in New Zealand. In addition to his work in the public hospital, Peter looks forward to continuing to provide great service to the Manawatu community through his private practice.
