Upcoming Meetings:

July 23^rd, 2026

The next meeting of the SAMHS will be held on Thursday, 23^rd of July at the Dulwich Community Centre, 14 Union St, Dulwich at 6:00 pm.

This month we welcome Associate Professor Hugh Harley, who will present: "Development of liver transplantation in South Australia".

Liver transplantation is one of the major advances in modern medicine, and South Australia's program has its own important history. Hugh was part of the team that established the program in 1992 and will speak from direct experience of its development.

Associate Professor Hugh Harley trained in gastroenterology at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital before undertaking a hepatology fellowship at the University of Southern California Liver Unit in Los Angeles. There he gained experience with the pioneering liver transplantation program led by Thomas Starzl. On returning to Adelaide, he was appointed to The Repatriation General Hospital, Flinders Medical Centre and the Royal Adelaide Hospital, and was closely involved with South Australia's liver transplantation program until 2007.
