INTERNATIONAL & NAMED SPEAKERS

Professor Neville KnuckeyNeurosurgeon

Eccles Lecturer 2018 Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital

Neurosurgery and mountain climbing seems a world apart, however there are fundamental areas of overlap such as precise understanding of your environment, developing a set of skills and striving for excellence in safety. They also share common clinical problems such as cerebral oedema and hypoxic neuronal death. The Eccles Oration will integrate a passion outside neurosurgery with recent advances in the basic science of neuroprotection.

Neville Knuckey completed medical school at the University of Western Australia in 1976. He completed resident and registrar training at Royal Perth and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospitals from 1976-1985. He completed the Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Neurosurgery in 1985. He completed post-fellowship training at John Hopkins Hospital in 1985 and Rhode Island Hospital/ Brown University in 1986. He was a member of the neurosurgical staff at Rhode Island Hospital from 1987-1995 and awarded an Associate Professor at Brown University. He returned to Western Australia as the Head of Department and Director of Training of the Western Australian Neurosurgical Service and Professor at University of Western Australia from 1995. He has held numerous teaching and administrative positions such as Chief Examiner of Neurosurgery, member of the Board of Neurosurgery, member of the Board of the NSA and Director Neuroscience at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. He was awarded the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital Award for Excellence in Clinical Practice and Administration in 2006.

Professor Knuckey’s principal research interest is neuroprotection and he has published over 100 peer reviewed articles with a major focus of interest being hypothermia/ magnesium and more recently Arginine rich peptide. In 1998, he was awarded the Doctorate of Medicine, UWA for research titled “The role of Transforming Growth Factor in Cerebral Ischemia”.
