About the Geoff Mews Memorial ANZET Fellows’ Prize
The ANZET Executive Committee is pleased to rename the Fellows Prize in memory of Geoff Mews.
Geoffrey (Geoff) Mews was a pioneer of interventional cardiology in Australasia and a mentor for many of the current leaders in the field. He trained initially in Perth, WA then did a cardiology fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, USA, before returning to Perth in the late 1970s. As one of the earliest adopters of percutaneous coronary intervention in the region he was innovative and technically skilled, but he was also a highly motivated advocate for his patients. His important role as an inspirational teacher is remembered in this ANZET fellowship.
The Geoff Mews Memorial ANZET Fellows’ Prize is awarded for the best case presentation by a fellow at the ANZET meeting.
Courtesy of the ANZET Organising Committee, the winner will receive a Travelling Scholarship to the next Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) meeting which will include return economy class airfares, accommodation, and registration. The scholarship must be taken within 12 months of the award.
