Making a difference
A renowned Western Australian ophthalmologist who led the development of a revolutionary intervention to treat the sight stealing eye disease, glaucoma, has been awarded an inaugural Byron Kakulas Medal.
The medal, honouring the late distinguished neuropathologist Emeritus Professor Byron Kakulas AO, founding Director of WA’s Perron Institute, acknowledges people who have had a transformational impact on the health of Western Australians, whether through medical research, clinical practice, health policy, service delivery or community outreach.
The second of the two Byron Kakulas medals awarded went to the high achieving, highly energetic Perioperative Medicine Team, a collaboration between the Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine Department at Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) and The University of Western Australia’s (UWA) Laboratory for Drug Delivery and Telethon Kids Institute.
