What's on at SCS
Pioneer in kidney transplantation recognised in Queen’s Birthday honours
Professor Vernon Marshall and Dr Catherine Marshall |
While Vernon Marshall may not be a
household name in Australia, his contribution to medical science through his innovative
work in kidney transplantation is known around the world.
Last month, Monash University’s
Emeritus Professor Vernon Marshall was among the 68 Australians recognised as
Officers in the General Division of the Order of Australia (AO) for his distinguished
service to medicine, particularly to renal transplant surgery and organ
preservation, and to accreditation and professional standards, as an academic,
author and clinician.
Professor Marshall was one of the
first surgeons in the world to develop an artificial kidney and one of the
first in Australia to perform a kidney transplant.
With his interests focused on surgical
metabolism, his work was instrumental in setting up renal dialysis and kidney
transplantation.
New treatment for adolescent depression recognised with Monash Health Award
A/Prof Glenn Melvin, Ms Chris Pavlou, A/Prof Michael Gordon |
A collaborative project between Monash Health and Monash
University to improve outcomes for
adolescents with depression won the
‘Excellence in Supporting the Mental health and Well-Being of Victorians’
Monash Health Award last week.
The pilot project involved Monash University’s Associate
Professor Glenn Melvin, Centre for Developmental Psychiatry and Psychology,
Associate Professor Michael Gordon, Unit Head, ELMHS and Chris Pavlou,
discipline senior, ELMHS.
The study aimed to determine if transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an effective treatment for adolescent
depression.

Matt Adams, Employer Partnership Manager from UniSuper will be presenting to SCS and Hudson Institute Staff about the importance of your superannuation.
The rules and terminology surrounding super are complicated. Coupled with this, the rules tend to change from year to year. So, it’s understandable if it all seems a little daunting.

Scholarship opportunity for the BMJ-IHI International Forum – September 2018
Anticipated
to attract more than 1200 healthcare quality and safety specialists from across
the world, this is the first time the IHI-BMJ Asia-Pacific forum will be held
in Australia. Hosting it in Melbourne offers a unique opportunity for Victorian
medical, nursing, allied health, health science students, and early graduates,
to attend.
The forum promises to be unmissable for anyone with a passion for improving quality and safety in healthcare, bringing together professionals from around the world to share the latest developments in best practice and build international networks.
This year, the International Forum is expanding to encompass the work of emerging quality leaders. From students to postgraduate year two, we encourage you to submit an abstract for presentation at the BMJ International Forum.
Submitting an abstract to the Students & Juniors Program gives you the opportunity to present your work on the 3 minute thesis stage, display a poster and have your abstract included in the conference proceedings.

Shavi Fernando's research sheds light on the effects of melatonin on IVF
Dr Shavi Fernando |
Congratulations to Dr Shavi Fernando on completion of his PhD at Monash University.
Shavi conducted a pilot double blind placebo controlled
dose-response randomised trial assessing the impact of melatonin on the
outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (the MIART trial).
"I randomised
women undergoing their first cycle of IVF to receive an oral placebo or any one
of three different doses of melatonin during ovarian stimulation," Shavi said.
