Professor Doyle worked in the field of neonatal paediatrics for more than 30 years, and exclusively between 1978, when he was first appointed to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the University of Melbourne, and 2006, when he ceased working in the nursery at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne. As well as training in Melbourne, he was fortunate to work and train for 3½ years in Canada, at McMaster University, where he met and worked with many esteemed international colleagues in neonatal paediatrics.

Professor Doyle has major research interests in evaluating neonatal intensive care, including how to improve on that care, and its economic consequences. He is a chief investigator on 6 randomised controlled trials of interventions designed to improve the outcome for the tiniest and most immature babies. He leads several research groups interested in the outcome for tiny babies well beyond the nursery and into adulthood; these are the Premature Infant Follow-up Programme at the Royal Women's Hospital, and the Victorian Infant Collaborative Study Group. As a consequence of his research activities he has over 210 scientific publications, 1 book, and two completed theses (MSc [McMaster]; MD [Melbourne]) to date (2008).

In addition to his research activities, Professor Doyle is now Head of Clinical Research Development at the Royal Women's Hospital, and is heavily involved in undergraduate and postgraduate clinical research education,
mentoring, and supervision.
