Associate Professor Josephine Beatson, OAM, lecture series

Recently, Spectrum had the honour of recognising the extraordinary contributions of Associate Professor Josephine Beatson, OAM.

We were thrilled to debut a special video conversation featuring Dr. Gabriel Feiler, consultant psychiatrist, and Jo Beatson. This event was made possible through our collaboration with Dr. Feiler, who also produced the video.

The discussion highlighted her career, insights, and the profound impact she has had on her patients and the wider mental health community. The evening served as a tribute to Jo Beatson's invaluable contributions to the field of psychiatry.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, both in person and online. Over 170 people registered for the event.

If you missed this opportunity, you could watch the documentary for a fee of $15 AUD by clicking here - https://Journeythroughpsychiat...
