Sad to report the death of Dr Fred Gilligan AO OStJ who led the development of medical retrieval in South Australia and a distinguished career at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. Fred was a long time member of the Society and its President from 1998 to 2001 & vice president in 2002.

From all of us at NETS, condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Stephen Tougher, probational paramedic, after his murder this morning while on the job. This crime is abhorrent. All emergency service workers should be able to perform their vital work without such risk
