Monash Intensivist honoured through University Fellowship

Assoc Prof Parkin

Monash University alumnus and Honorary Intensivist at Monash Health Associate Professor Geoffrey Parkin was honoured as an exceptional leader through a University Fellowship last week.

The award of Fellowship by the University recognizes distinguished service or achievement in the arts, sciences, professions or civil society for the benefit of the community. This award recognized a long and distinguished career as clinician, teacher and researcher in Intensive Care Medicine.

Undoubtedly the top career highlight has been “working for forty years with the best nurses and doctors you could find” Dr Parkin said.

“Critical illness sometimes puts patients, relatives and staff under stress. With knowledge, compassion and teamwork comes therapeutic success. Care is enormously rewarding and we have had much joy.  The award of a Monash Fellowship is essentially a shared acknowledgement of all those contributors.”
