Research interests

As a Fulbright Scholar, Miss Petrie undertook 2 years of full-time research at Harvard University studying the role of gene therapy in wound healing, investigating genetic factors which accelerate healing and minimise scarring. This led to the award of Doctorate of Medicine.

Niki Petrie also set up the up the Oxford Breast Reconstruction Awareness Group and this group remains one of Niki’s ongoing interests.

Personal interests

Niki enjoys spending free time with her family.
Together, they enjoy all manner of outdoor pursuits including Running, Cycling, Skiing and Sailing.

Courses offered to GPs

Niki Petrie is happy to talk about her ethos or any of the following subjects:

1. The balance of risk and outcome when removing skin lesions in children and adults.
2. The female breast - enhancing natures curves whether for cosmesis, anti-ageing or following cancer.
3. Body contouring - from the mini-abdominoplasty to apronectomy following massive weight loss.
