    Election – ESMO National Representative 2015-2016 Professor Michael Green Western Health Melbourne; Australia Australia as an integral member of the Asia-Pacific region has a responsibility to assist in the improvement of cancer outcomes in the region. This requires active representation on scholarly bodies as well as government and non-government organizations to assist in the transfer of skills via education as well as clinical trials. As a long-time member of ESMO as well as other international organizations with a strong interest in teaching, training and communication I believe I can contribute to this objective.

    2013 Research Report

    RESEARCH >REPORT St George and Sutherland Hospitals 2012 » 2013 > INTRODUCTIONS Professor John Edmonds Conjoint Professor, UNSW Chair of the St George and Sutherland Medical Research Foundation The Research Report of the St George and Sutherland Hospitals, currently published every second year, is an important record of our clinical and research staff and some traditional indicators by which institutions’ research status is judged: projects undertaken, grants awarded, publications and presentations. There are encouraging pointers, great and small, that government and society are increasingly recognising the importance of medical research: McKeon’s Strategic Review of Health and Medical Research; a federal commitment to a 20 billion dollar medical research fund; the choice of Suzanne Corey (former Director of WEHI) as the 2014 Boyer Lecturer; even a recent Q & A session devoted to Science & Australia. As society looks to its great academic medical centres for research-driven guidance, it becomes ever more important that St George and Sutherland Hospitals match the excellence of their clinical service and teaching with a comparable level of eminence in research endeavour and success. The St George and Sutherland Medical Research Foundation is committed to helping the hospitals’ academics in that project. The Research Reports provide a useful audit of our joint progress. Professor Peter Gonski Head, Sutherland Teaching Unit St George Clinical School Although Sutherland Hospital is well known as a provider of major clinical service to the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District, it also provides a major teaching resource to medical, nursing and allied health students. Research is now becoming important in its activities. On behalf of Sutherland, I am grateful that the St George and Sutherland Medical Research Foundation has included us in their activities and also providing research funds.
