Title A name given to the resource Fiona Stanley interview, 12 March 2013 Subject The topic of the resource Medicine Description An account of the resource During this interview Fiona Stanley discusses her career and experience of the University of Western Australia. As a child, inspired by her upbringing and her father, Neville Stanley, who was a researcher on polio, Fiona aimed to sail away to assist indigenous people on far away islands helping to cure them of disease. In 1956 the family moved to Western Australia from Sydney when Stanley's father took the Foundation Chair of Microbiology. She went to school at St Hilda’s before studying Medicine at the University of Western Australia, graduating in 1970. In the 1970s she worked in the paediatrics clinic at Perth's Children's Hospital. She worked with sick aboriginal children, travelling, to “every mission camp, reserve and fringe-dwelling group in Western Australia.” It was through this process that she aimed to better understand health issues and the impact of life chances and living conditions on children. She traveled and studied overseas in Ireland and London England, before coming back to Perth Western Australia inspired. She helped set up a pioneering database in maternal and child health with the likes of Professor Michael Hobbs. She was instrumental in better understanding population health and causes and prevention of cerebral palsy. She is the founding Director of the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research, which has received major funding from Telethon. In 2002, largely as a result of her lobbying, Prime Minister Howard launched the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY) of which she is Chairperson. She was named Australian of the Year in 2003. A planned hospital, Fiona Stanley Hospital, named in her honour, will open in 2014. Throughout the interview she draws on the colourful experiences that she had at the University of WA, both as student and a member of staff. She recollects numerous influential people that she was exposed to at the University. Fiona is convinced of the importance that universities play in education and the community at large and speaks of current UWA standing on the international academic stage.

Title A name given to the resource Bernard Catchpole interview, 9 November 2012, 16 November 2012 and 23 November 2012 Subject The topic of the resource Medicine Description An account of the resource This is an interview with Emeritus Professor Bernard Catchpole. Born in London, he grew up and was educated in Manchester graduating in 1945. He discusses his upbringing and his developing interest in a career in medicine. He talks of the journey he took to Western Australia where he would become the second Professor of Surgery in the Department of Medicine at The University of Western Australia in 1966. Comparing the University of Western Australia in the 1960s to other universities that he had experienced, Bernard gives a good indication of the fledgling department of Medicine he entered on his arrival. He looks at the initiatives that he implemented and changes he helped to instill, to build the School of Medicine into a world leading department in a university rated number 96 in world rankings. He regards the internationalisation of the university as one of the primary growth areas of importance and reflects on the developing connections with China that he helped to instigate. He recalls setting up a tutor system and implementing changes to the method of teaching university students at the teaching Hospitals of Royal Perth and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. He reflects on the level of support that he saw on his arrival, citing the lack of facilities and funding available for research at the University. He recollects the isolation of the university as a whole in an academic context, and discusses the lack of interaction between departments that he experienced. He talks of a number of primary areas of research in which he was involved including his memories of the Busselton Study. He also looks at some personal areas of research and contributions to medicine in the areas of Gut Motility, Peripheral Embolism and intestinal Colic. He looks at the University of Western Australia today and how it compares to other universities on a world scale.
