Dr Alarick Picardo is a consultant urologist with sub-speciality interests in robotics and urological cancers. He grew up in Perth and studied medicine at the University of Western Australia, graduating with honours in 2010.
After working at all major hospitals in Western Australia he achieved his FRACS in Urology and moved to Sydney to undertake further sub-speciality training in robotics and major uro-oncology. He then relocated to the United Kingdom where he completed dual accredited fellowships (Royal College Of Surgeons England [RCS(Eng)], and European Association of Urology, Robotic Surgeons [ERUS]) at St George’s Hospital, London. There he trained under some pioneers of robotic surgery in the UK to learn all aspects of robotic urology and minimally invasive surgery.
Dr Picardo has since returned to Perth to settle down with his family, and holds consultant positions at Perth Urology Clinic and Fiona Stanley Hospital. He is involved in teaching and research and is passionate about being at the forefront of advances in technology with urological surgery.
Outside of work he loves spending time with his wife, travelling and trying different cuisines.
