Congratulations to former Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital Doctor Virginia Longley, who had her 50-year career in health recognised with a Medal of the Order of Australia.
A GP in Denmark for the past 20 years, Dr Longley started her career in health as an Ear Nose and Throat Registrar at SCGH in 1975 before moving into the Emergency Department. She then made the move to general practice, based in Spearwood, before relocating to Denmark in 2003.
Dr Longley said she was surprised by the accolade but contributed the award to her willingness to contribute to communities in the best way she knows how.
Congratulations Virginia!
