This week Kogarah Lions came together to recognise both the winner of the Alberto Albani Healing Narrative Award and the winner of the medical research symposium.
- Alberto Albani Healing Narrative Award winner : Palliative Nurse Kathleen Wurth.
- St George Medical Research Symposium winner: A/Professor Pam Konecny
We were privileged to hear Kathleen's winning essay read by Dr Frank Brennan who accepted the award on behalf of Kathleen.
Kathleen brought to life deeply moving, memorable patient stories from her clinical practice—powerful narratives that have shaped the way she cares and the way we all think about healing.
We also were able to hear about the fascinating research by Dr Pam Konecny about the use of anti-microbials and the continuing fight against anti-microbial resistance.
