CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT
I began my first term as Chair of the Hunter Postgraduate Medical Institute (HPMI) in 2015. HPMI has
been challenged financially during 2015 due to some major Government changes to major
Stakeholders in delivery of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in our region, notably Hunter
Medicare Local (HML) and General Practice Training Valley to Coast (GPTVTC).
HML was still able to provide support up until June 2015 towards Membership for their non-GP clinical
employees at General Practice After-Hours (GPAAH). Some of the functions of HML have now been
taken over by Hunter New England and Central Coast PHN (HNECC). HNECC provided support
towards the 2015 HPMI Newcastle Weekend Dinner and HPMI’s delivery of CPD for 2016.
Fortunately, our Major Sponsor, Pathology North – Hunter, continued to provide Sponsorship for 2016,
for the eighth consecutive year in a row. This payment at the end of 2015, along with the substantial
support from HNECC for 2015-2016 financial year, enabled HPMI to finish the year on a more positive
note.
Principal Sponsorship was also provided by General Practice Training Valley to Coast (GPTVTC) who
supported Trainees and Overseas Trained Doctors’ (OTDs) Memberships in 2015. HPMI also continued
our 2013 arrangement with GPTVTC to design and build medical resources on HPMI’s website. It is
with pleasure that I announce that GPTVTC have advised they will continue to cover Membership fees
for Trainees and OTDs for 2016.
Thanks must also be given to the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) who continued to be
HPMI’s Venue Sponsor, allowing us to utilise their wonderful venue for our weekend events during
2015. This is an enormous saving for HPMI and we are truly grateful to HMRI and plan to include
Research topics in our 2016 events whenever possible.
HPMI is also indebted to The University of Newcastle for accommodating the HPMI secretariat in the
Newbolds Building in Mayfield, where HPMI evening meetings are also held.
Hunter New England Health also provided significant support for delivery of information regarding
Health Pathways. They also became the 2015 HPMI Newcastle Weekend Sponsor.
HPMI’s Memberships continued to increase in 2015, due to our ever growing number of Group
Memberships, both Specialist and General Practices. Our increased attendances by Nurses and
Practice Administration staff, both at their own CPD meetings, and other events, no doubt has fuelled
this growth.
Delivery of Cluster education, small group meetings close to practices, remained free in 2015 thanks to
Sponsorship received.
In 2015 HPMI’s delivery of CPD continued to be of a high standard, attracting record numbers of
attendees. This has been in no small part due to the outstanding program designed by our Program
Committee. I wish to thank this hard working Committee, along with our greatest resource, our local
Speakers, who freely donated their time and efforts.
HPMI continued to develop and explore education initiatives via our website, including videos created
from conferences that were streamed live during 2015. HPMI is extremely grateful to Dr Milton Sales,
Program Committee Chair, and IT colleague, Mr Steve James, for their substantial development of
readily-accessible online education courses and resources.
HPMI continued our annual Weekend of education in 2015, holding the eighth Annual HPMI Newcastle
Weekend
Despite support from Stakeholders and increased Memberships, HPMI still relies on support from other
Commercial organisations. It was heartening to see this support increased in 2015, and that our
Sponsors now include many Private Health Sector organisations, as well as Specialist Groups.
I have enjoyed my first term as Chair and plan to stay on the Board in 2016.

DIRECTOR OF STUDIES’ REPORT
HPMI is indebted to the University for their continued provision of space and services. In return HPMI
continues to provide Health Students with complimentary membership. This entitles them to free registration
for HPMI meetings and courses, as well as access to the Careers in Medicine Handbook via HPMI’s website.
HPMI also awarded two Health Equity Selective Bursary prizes to medical students in 2015. Dr Doug
Howarth, Dr Greg McGrath and Professor Dimity Pond and I judged reports on students’ 2014 Health
Equity Selectives. The winners, whose essays and video recordings of reports on their Selective are
available via HPMI’s website were:
1. Mr Prashanth Sasidharan for his report on Health Equity and Infant Mortality Rates in
2.
Argentina and Cuba
Mr Gordon Reid for his report on A comparison of the public and private healthcare systems
in Malaysia and how this impacts the health of the Orang Asli (Indigenous Malay) at both
the individual and community level
CAREERS IN MEDICINE HANDBOOK I continued to edit this annual publication for HPMI. A complete
revision will continue to be made each year, as HPMI aims to make the information as relevant as possible.
We will continue to update the Specialty Profiles. This Booklet is available via HPMI’s website and freely
accessible by our Members.

This included granting Complimentary Membership to their Junior Medical Officers. This membership entitled
them to free registration for HPMI meetings and courses, as well as access to the Careers in Medicine
Handbook via HPMI’s website. HPMI is grateful to Specialists from HNELHD who continued to act as
Resource persons at our meetings, as well as serving on Committees providing expert advice. HPMI also
thanks HNELHD for support provided towards HPMI’s provision of information about Health Pathways in
2015.
General Practice Training Valley to Coast continued to cover their trainees’ and Overseas Trained Doctors’
membership fees of HPMI in 2015. HPMI also continued to design and build educational resources on their
behalf via our website. HPMI also conducted an online Antibiotic Survey and OTD network project.
DOCTORS’ MEMOIRS 1920 – 2016
HPMI’s website houses Memoirs of prominent medical practitioners who made significant contributions to the
overall development of medical services in the Hunter region since 1920; they were made by Dr Stephen De
Lyall and sadly almost all of the medicos he recorded have now passed away. The memoirs are first-hand
accounts from doctors who made a unique contribution to medical history covering the period when medical
knowledge – and practice – was expanded explosively after WW2 in Newcastle. These interviews are a
fascinating resource for anyone interested in the background to the medical practice of today’s doctors. HPMI
has now begun video recording other practitioners for posterity, and Drs Bob Lindsay, Neville Rothfield,
Owen James and I have made recordings to date. These memoirs can be accessed for Free via HPMI’s
website.
HISTORICAL ARCHIVES.I have completed a historical overview of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Australia
over the past 60 years, which will be available in the History section of our website in due course. Also
housed here is a summary of HPMI’s History.
THE AUSTRALIAN POSTGRADUATE FEDERATION IN MEDICINE After 50 years this national
organisation has been disbanded. In 2015 HPMI received a share of the residual funds.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – 30.03.15
The Thirty Fifth Annual General Meeting, held at Newbolds Building, Mayfield, was a great success with
twenty-five (32) attendees. The meeting was preceded by a cocktail party.
Dr Doug Howarth, Chair of HPMI, presented HPMI’s 2014 Annual Report, and reported that
While HPMI has been challenged financially during 2014, our delivery of high standard education had
continued and attracted record numbers of attendees. This was no doubt due the hard work of the Program
Committee and high quality of speakers sourced mainly from our local area by meeting Convenors.
HPMI continued to develop and explore education initiatives via our website. HPMI is extremely grateful to Dr
Milton Sales, and IT colleague, Mr Steve James, for their substantial development of readily-accessible
online education Another initiative in 2014 was the development of our Online Directory of Specialists. This
had been improved to be more interactive with maps on all records, as well as links to Specialist Group
Member’s websites. We are currently seeking a sponsor for this area of our website.
HPMI continued our annual Weekend of education in 2014, holding the seventh Annual HPMI Newcastle
Weekend HPMI also held our inaugural Parkinson’s Disease Masterclass. Dr Chandrasekhara Padmakumar,
meeting Convenor, must be thanked for his untiring work in making this meeting such a great success.
On behalf of HPMI, I would like to thank significant Stakeholders in Continuing Professional Development for
their support during 2014. In particular thanks are extended to
Pathology North – Hunter for becoming our Major Sponsor for the seventh consecutive year.
The University of Newcastle for accommodating the HPMI secretariat in Newbolds, Mayfield, where HPMI
evening meetings are held, and providing services including accounting.
Hunter New England Health for support towards delivery of information regarding Health Pathways.
Hunter Medicare Local who provided an enormous boost to HPMI’s finances during 2014 by sponsoring the
majority of HPMI education. They also covered the membership fees of non-GP clinical employees. I would
like to welcome Scott White tonight.
General Practice Training Valley to Coast who supported not only Trainees memberships, and for first time
Overseas Trained Doctors’ memberships. They utilised HPMI’s website for various projects.
Hunter Medical Research Institute who allowed HPMI to utilise their wonderful venue for our weekend events
during 2014 and again in 2015. I would like to welcome Brad Webb tonight.
I have enjoyed my two years as Chair of HPMI. I plan to stay on the Board in 2015 and watch HPMI grow
and continue to be a premier provider of quality Continuing Professional Development in our Region and
further abroad.
Two students who won HPMI’s 2014 Bursary prizes presented interesting reports on their Electives
undertaken in 2013. The winners were given Certificates and they then presented a summary of their
electives as follows:
•
•
Hayley Morgan for her report on Drug and Alcohol Clinical Services in Newcastle
Lachlan McIntosh for his report on Rural Health Stream – Critical Care in Rural Hospitals.

Professor Nicholas Talley, representing the Faculty of Health and Medicine, The University of
Newcastle from 2011-2015
Dr Chong-Siew Yong, representing The Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Psychiatrists,
from 2011-2015
Mrs Rhonda Pitt, Community Representative 2015
He then went on to announce 2015/16 Board (listed on page 4).
