Congratulate your Colleagues
Dr Trevor Paul FitzJohn ONZM
Chair, Pacific Radiology, New Zealand
Congratulations to Dr Trevor FitzJohn
for his recent recognition as an Officer
of the New Zealand Order of Merit for
services to radiology in the Queen’s 90th
Birthday Honours List 2016.
Colleagues who have had the
opportunity to work with Dr FitzJohn can
attest to his commitment to radiology,
education and the New Zealand Branch.
Among his many achievements are
the introduction of Positron Emission
Tomography (PET) scanning into
New Zealand and overseeing the
installation of the first MRI scanner in
the greater Wellington area, as well as
establishing interventional radiology
in the region. He was also a central
figure in establishing minimally invasive
treatment of aneurysms and other
neurological conditions.
A/Prof Nina Sacharias OAM
Department of Radiology, Alfred
Hospital Melbourne
Congratulations to A/Prof Nina
Sacharias who received a Medal of the
Order of Australia in recognition of
her service to medicine in the field of
radiology in the Queen’s Birthday 2016
Honours List.
In 2011 Nina Sacharias received the
Roentgen Medal from the College
recognising the very valuable
contribution to the affairs of the
College over a significant period of
time.
Nina has been an outstanding Fellow
of the College as not only a radiologist,
but as an educator and an innovator
extending over more than 30 years of
practice. Her devotion to the teaching
of trainees is legendary. In 2004 she
was the author of Radiology: Beyond a
Textbook.
As Dr Anthony Felber said in a Letter to
the Editor for Inside News:
“Nina moulded my career. Nina
moulded the career of so many other
radiologists, some of whom are
now the leaders in our radiological
community.”
In June 2012 we reported that
Breastscreen Victoria had recognised
her contribution to breast imaging by
naming an upgraded and rebranded
Mobile Screening Service van after
“educator extraordinaire” Nina. There
are other numerous commendations for
this remarkable person.
The College salutes Nina Sacharias as
one of its most treasured Fellows.
