The litany of Acriticism about shoddy medical research documented in the epochal article by Professor Beecher (Beecher 1966, 1968; Levine 1986) has not occurred in this country. Comparatively fine as the Australian record may be, that record is not unblemished. A report commissioned by the Commonwealth Government in 1994 by Professor Margaret Allars into unsatisfactory aspects of the collection, manufacture, and injection of human growth hormone (Allars 1994) recommended that aspects of the research structure had to be reassessed. In particular, the Allars Report recommended a review of the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Statement on Human Experimentation and the Supplementary Note on Reproductive Technology Procedures. Similarly, the Commonwealth Minister for Health (now called the Commonwealth Minister for Health and Aged Care) referred ethical concerns about two postwar procedures and one multi- center clinical trial in the 1990s to the Australian Health Ethics Committee (AHEC). The two postwar procedures involved first, the inclusion of

B.A., M.A(Hon). Department of Science and Technology Studies. December 1986 11 ABSTRACT Decisions by governments involving the funding and application of science and technology are increasing in complexity Paradoxically, there is an increasing demand for greater public participation in these decisions. There are a number of reasons for this: the recognition that science and technology can have far-reaching implications and consequences and may involve considerable risks, high costs, and ethical, moral and environmental considerations. Furthermore, there has been a growing distrust, or at least a questioning, of the authority and neutrality of science and the credibility and trustworthiness of scientific institutions.

  • News Notes Edited by Susan Lloyd Adelaide City Council Archives
    News Notes Edited by Susan Lloyd Adelaide City Council Archives Correspondent: Robert Thornton Updated records management policy and operating procedures There have been some changes in individual functional responsibilities aimed at improving disposal management and educating and advising Council staff in the application of the Local Government Disposal Schedule (GDS20) within their respective areas of activity. As part of this process a new updated Records Management Policy and Operating Procedures are being prepared and their introduction corporate-wide will coincide with the launch of the latest version of the TRIM electronic records management system (TRIM Context). The new system promises a number of notable enhancements designed to make life easier for users and archivists alike. The system is being configured in such a way that the naming conventions used in new file titling mirror the functional classifications and their associated activities promulgated in the Local Government Disposal Schedule. Appropriate disposal actions will be automatically applied at the point of creation of the file. Some difficulties have been experienced in getting the space management module in TRIM to cut over from the former version, however we have asked Tower Software to help resolve this issue. Public access to Council records All public enquiries for access to Council records, whether current or non-current, are now being directed through the archives including Freedom of Information applications. More staff are now responsible for providing assistance to the FOI Officer in order to cope with what is seemingly becoming something of a growth industry, as well as to meet the new (much reduced) operating time-frames introduced from 1 July this year under the amended state legislation.

  • Carers, Advocates and Reformers
    the women’s Carers, advocates and reformers Medical History Museum, University of Melbourne The Melbourne hospital popularly known as The Women’s has played a critical role in the life of Victoria since its very beginnings. As historian Janet McCalman explains: ‘The Royal Women’s Hospital opened in August 1856 as the Melbourne Lying-In Hospital and Infirmary for the Diseases Peculiar to Women and Children, in a terrace house in Albert Street, East Melbourne. The colony was in the midst of a gold rush that would bring half a million people in the decade. Women were abandoned—pregnant and destitute—while their husbands and erstwhile lovers tried their luck on the goldfields. The need for a charity lying-in hospital for women without homes was urgent.’ The Women’s: Carers, advocates and reformers explores the work of the hospital through the contributions of many remarkable individuals; public education and health campaigns; the training of nurses, midwives, doctors and other health professionals; and public policy and research. It follows the institution from its modest East Melbourne origins to its location today in the Parkville biomedical precinct, while also presenting the stories and knowledge of traditional owners.

    LETTERS FROM VIETNAM JULY–OCTOBER 1967 PETER LAST THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BIEN HOA TEAM JULY–OCTOBER 1967 Sitting: Aileen Monck, Olga Nicholls, Margaret Bolton, Beth Harvey Standing: Rod White, Tom Allen, Peter Last, Doug Townsend, Graham Wilson (Team Leader), John Quirk, Jenny Leak, Phil Nurcombe (Administrator), Jo Griffin In 1967 I was 37; Graham Wilson was about 42; Rod White was 40; and Doug Townsend was about my age, although he graduated a year or so later than I did. Tom Allen (sometime RAAF Spitfire pilot) graduated in my year under the CRTS program, and was the oldest of us. John Quirk was in his early thirties, and Phil Nurcombe looked to be in his late thirties–early forties. Olga Nicholls was naturally the senior of the nurses and probably the oldest. Aileen Monck completed her training in the same group as my Jenny, who turned 34 soon after I arrived in Bien Hoa. The other nurses were about the same age, being mature enough not to be flighty like some of those elsewhere. Margaret Bolton, was exactly my age, and I think Jo Griffin was the youngest. The nurses displayed total commitment and the highest standards of professional integrity under conditions directly analogous to those facing Florence Nightingale on arrival in the Crimea.
