Guest Speaker Assoc Prof Julian White AM, University of Adelaide

Things that go bite, or sting, in the night (or day); an introduction to clinical toxinology

Associate Professor Julian White is a graduate of the Medical School of the University of Adelaide, from where he gained his M.D. for "Studies in Clinical Toxinology in South Australia". He has had a keen interest in Australia's native animals, especially reptiles and spiders, since migrating to Australia from the U.K. in 1964. He has kept most species of dangerous Australian snakes and many species of spider after undertaking fieldwork collecting reptiles and spiders in most states of Australia. Julian is State Clinical Toxinologist for South Australia, a unique position created for him in acknowledgement of his work treating snakebites, spiderbites and other bites and stings over many years, and for his work in venom research, particularly the coagulation effects of Australian snake venoms. He has provided a clinical service of advice on treatment of bites and stings in S.A. for more than 20 years, and has personally treated hundreds of cases.

In 2016 Prof White was awarded a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia for significant service to medicine, particularly in the field of toxinology, through clinical and leadership roles, and to professional groups. His work has contributed to a greater public understanding of snake bites, from first aid to the wisdom of calling for a trained snake handler rather than trying to wrangle a scared, venomous reptile.
