Professor Wiltshire completed his undergraduate training in Medicine at the University of Otago, before working in the greater Wellington region while completing a Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Diploma in Paediatrics. He undertook advanced training in general paediatrics, followed by paediatric endocrinology and metabolic disease, in Adelaide, South Australia. During this time he also completed his doctorate, investigating early vascular disease in children with diabetes, before returning to Wellington as a senior lecturer in the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health, University of Otago Wellington and Paediatrician/Paediatric Endocrinologist for CCDHB. He has overseen development of services in Paediatric endocrinology and diabetes since 2001.
Professor Wiltshire's primary areas of research involve investigation of the acute and chronic complications of diabetes, particularly their pathophysiology and early development, and treatment. The aims of this research are to identify factors involved in the early pathogenesis of the vascular complications of diabetes, when interventions will have the greatest effect along with identification and treatment of hypoglycaemia. More recent research has been investigating use of technology in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. he is also involved in clinical research in a range of other endocrine conditions. He has served as a council member and president of the Australasian Paediatric Endocrinology Society and was past chair of the International Consortium for Paediatric Endocrinology (an organisation linking all the Paediatric Endocrine Societies around the world).
