Doctor and lawyer Patrick Waterbley enjoyed a multifaceted academic training with a master’s in healthcare and business at KU Leuven. At VUB he obtained a master’s in law. Since 1985 he has had a flourishing career in the care sector. He is currently vice-chair and secretary of the High Council of Doctors, Specialists and GPs at the FPS Public Health. Medical law is more than ever in development, and thanks to Waterbley’s Fellowship, VUB can keep up with this evolution.

The Faculty of Medicine & Pharmacy has started a new Master of Medicine, for which the legal and strategic assistance of an expert is very welcome. Waterbley is known for the encyclopaedic knowledge he has built up within the FPS Public Health and this will strengthen the development of the degree.
