The paediatrics video (8:53min) Then and Now was launched to high praise. Unfortunately, the star of the show Emeritus Professor Arthur Clark was unable to attend due to illness. Everyone who met Arthur during the filming was touched by his intelligence and humility.
Katrina also unveiled photographic portraits of former Heads of Department of Paediatrics, Professors Richard Doherty and Nick Freezer. Humility must be on the menu at Paediatrics. Both gentlemen graciously accepted accolades while sharing the credit. Nick’s family was in attendance thanks to his wife’s ability in controlling the diary.
Nick trained as a paediatric respiratory and sleep medicine physician and is Professor and Head of Paediatrics at Monash University. Nick is also the Medical Director of the Women's and Children's Program for Monash Health, Medical Director of Monash Children's, and practises as a respiratory physician. Nick’s most well-known research is in the dangers of corticosteroid use in children, especially children aged under six.
Richard trained in paediatrics and in paediatric infectious diseases and is an honorary consultant physician in Paediatric Infectious Diseases at Monash Children’s Hospital and a Professor in the Department of Paediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University. Richard has been instrumental in finessing workplace standards and training of young doctors.
Congratulations to everyone involved. It’s refreshing to have an event that’s totally a good news story.
