The ONJ Centre wishes to extend deepest sympathies to Olivia Newton-John and her family and friends on the passing of her brother Hugh.
Hugh was well known for his work in infectious diseases and some of his colleagues have remembered the contribution he made during a distinguished career through the obituary below.
Vale – Dr. Hugh Newton-John
Sadly, Hugh Newton-John died recently after a long battle with debility and decline. Hugh was a well-respected infectious diseases clinician at Fairfield Infectious Diseases Hospital in Melbourne during the 1970s and 80s where his lively personality, sharp intellect and amazing ability to reassess complex infectious diseases was highly regarded. Hugh was an innovator, an astute clinician and a wonderful teacher and mentor to generations of medical students, residents and ID trainees. Hugh was also a talented musician and artist who shared his gifts with many friends, colleagues and associates throughout his entire life. As a clinician-investigator Hugh led many key research projects, particularly among patients requiring care in the hospital's intensive care unit. These included projects related to tetanus, Guillain-Barre syndrome, improvements to ventilation methods for polio patients and new approaches to preventing airway obstruction among patients with chronic upper airway weakness. He was a keen photographer and enjoyed recording patient stories about their illnesses and how they were managed. Many of the classic clinical infectious diseases photos and audio recordings that now form part of the massive Fairfield Collection, owe their origins and meticulous cataloguing to Hugh's efforts – many have now been included in the key Australian ID textbook "Infectious Diseases: a clinical approach; third edition" (Eds: Yung, Spelman, Street, et al.). Although he is now at peace, his memory and legacy will live on among those who worked and trained with him and the many patients who benefited from his fabulous care.
For those that knew Hugh his funeral will be at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Kew at 2pm on Thursday, 16 May.
