Profiles
CHRISTOPHER WEBBER
Toni Medcalf Memorial Opening Address, 9am
Christopher Webber is a Paediatric Emergency Physician and Retrieval Consultant working at Sydney Children’s
Hospital, Randwick and NETS (Newborn & paediatric Emergency Transport Service) NSW. Having completed his
degree at the University of Queensland in 1980 and internship in Townsville, Chris then worked in Mount Isa and
Richmond, Queensland. He then completed a Diploma of Obstetrics at the Gold Coast Hospital where he “fell
into” paediatrics, being the other six months of the 12 month position. Paediatric training commenced at Royal
Children’s Hospital, Brisbane and was completed at Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick (previously Prince of
Wales Children’s Hospital). Chris was one of the 12 “disciples” who completed the first Australian APLS course for
12 participants in 1997. They progressed immediately to an Instructor course and completed their first Instructor
Candidacy within 10 days of commencement! Chris is renowned for his class photos at courses and this is not a
time for tomfoolery, as many can attest who have been photographed. He remains heavily involved in instructing
and directing Provider and Generic Instructor Courses.
JULIA GUNN
Neonatal Resuscitation, 9.20am
Julia Gunn is a Consultant Neonatologist at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. She completed her PhD
studying brain injury and neurodevelopment in infants with congenital heart disease, based in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and currently holds a half-time Career Development Award from the Murdoch Childrens Research
Institute. Her research interests include newborn brain injury and neurodevelopment in infants undergoing surgery
for congenital malformations, including the use of clinical neuromonitoring tools and prediction of longer term
outcomes following brain insults early in life. Inbetween bouts of NICU ward service, Julia coordinates a long-term
follow-up program for infants undergoing non-cardiac surgery during the neonatal period, but would rather spend
her time ranking the quality of powder snow at ski resorts around the world.
PHILIP RAGG
Failed Intubation, 9.50am
Philip is a Consultant Anaesthetist at Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne; Deputy Director, Department of Anaesthesia and Pain Management; and Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Paediatrics at the University
of Melbourne. He is also an examiner for ANZCA, a member of the Victorian Consultative Council of Anaesthetic
Morbidity and Mortality, and an APLS Instructor. Interests and publications include cardiac anaesthesia, airway
management, regional anaesthesia in children, neonatal anaesthesia, day surgery for children, muscle relaxants in
children and malignant hyperthermia. His current research project is entitled ‘Depth of Insertion of Endotracheal
Tubes in Children: A new method and review of previous formulae’.

Sport lovers
Don’t miss a visit to the MCG, Melbourne’s cathedral to the sporting gods. The
home of AFL Grand Finals, Boxing Day tests and the outstanding National Sports
Museum is three train stops (Southern Cross to Richmond) or an impressive 45
minute walk along the Yarra riverbank from APLS. A new statue of spin bowling
larrikin Shane Warne stands guard outside this national icon, and tours of the
stadium and the National Sports Museum can be booked at www.mcg.org.au
or www.nsm.org.au. Take a stroll around the surrounding sports precinct and
you might glimpse your heroes training at Gosch’s Paddock or Punt Road Oval.

HUGH MARTIN
Burns, 10.20am
Hugh gained his first Fellowship as a General Surgeon in Australia then worked in the UK before returning to Australia to learn a bit more about children at the RAHC, then at Camperdown. The patients and the attitude of Paediatric Surgeons was so different and refreshing that he stayed in the discipline, completing a three year upgrade
to Paediatric Surgery with a year at RCH Melbourne. On returning to RAHC he joined the Burns Unit starting a long
interest in the subject including teaching the American ABLS in the early 90s before being involved in the group
that wrote the EMSB course in the mid-90s, then as Chair of the Education Committee of the Australian and NZ
Burn Association for many years, seeing it grow and spread around the two countries as well as to the UK, Holland and South Africa. He remains passionate about teaching burns to anybody who stands still for long enough.

Medical Advisor with the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Centre, Queensland. Clinical interests include
extracorporeal support for critically ill patients, as well as an interest in electrolytes and acid-base status. Current

PAUL BLOOMFIELD
Acute Care in the Bush 12.15pm
Paul is a General Paediatrician from Orange NSW where he has been practising since completing his training 11
years ago. He has an interest in acute medicine and trauma which manages to keep him going through the deluge
of behavioural and developmental work seen in rural general paediatrics.
BEST OF MELBOURNE
Eat, drink, be merry
Enjoying a lovingly created al fresco meal – despite Victoria’s ‘variable’
weather – is high on the list of Melburnian pleasures. The Crown Complex on South Bank has glitzy super-chefs and remarkable views; Lygon
Street, just north of the CBD in Carlton is the city’s Italian quarter, with
atmospheric pavement pizza joints aplenty. South Melbourne market is a
gem for foodies, and further afield, Milawa – a two hour drive up-country
– is a designated gourmet region for fresh air and the freshest food. See
what’s whetting the appetites of local foodies at www.urbanspoon.com.

BEST OF MELBOURNE
Fast lanes for fashionistas
Melbourne’s main grid is intersected with a unique series of secret laneways
containing bars, boutiques, signature street art and some of the city’s best
restaurants. Our advice? Take the road less travelled and get lost down a
CBD laneway for a quintessentially Melbourne experience – Hardware and
Degraves Lanes are a good place to start. Alternatively, Bourke Street
Mall (five mins from APLS) has the David Jones/Myer superstores, Fitzroy
(north of the CBD) has a famously hip edge, and Chapel Street (Prahran/
South Yarra trains) is a 3km shopping mecca with top high street names.
