Patrick is currently the LGBT editor for the news website Buzzfeed. In February 2010, Strudwick published "The Ex-Gay Files: The Bizarre World of Gay-to-Straight Conversion" in The Independent, chronicling a year of undercover investigation of conversion therapy: therapists – some operating within the British National Health Service – claiming to be able to "convert" gays and lesbians to heterosexuality [https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/features/the-exgay-files-the-bizarre-world-of-gaytostraight-conversion-1884947.html]. Following the publication of the article and the outrage it provoked around the world, Strudwick started the Stop Conversion Therapy Taskforce (SCOTT) . SCOTT aims to eradicate the attempts by therapists, psychiatrists and religious groups to "cure" gay people. Following Strudwick's investigation the British Medical Association passed a motion condemning attempts by psychotherapists and psychiatrists to change a patient's sexual orientation, and calling on the National Health Service to investigate instances where they may have inadvertently paid for such "treatment". He was named 11th most influential gay person in Britain by the Independent on Sunday's annual Rainbow List in 2014.
