Associate Professor Tracy King awarded the HSANZ Leadership in Haematology Award.
 

Clinical Associate Professor Tracy King, Myeloma Clinical Nurse Consultant (CNC) in RPA's Haematology Department, has received with the Haematology Society of Australia and New Zealand (HSANZ) 2024 Leadership in Haematology Award.  

“I’m absolutely delighted to be honoured in this way by my peers in Haematology,” she said. 

This award honours an individual who demonstrates extraordinary commitment to leadership in haematology. Nominees have a record of accomplishment and leadership that has contributed positively to the haematology profession. 

Among her many leadership roles at RPA, Tracy was co-founder and a Past President of the HSANZ Nurses’ group, and she also founded and is Chair of the HSANZ Myeloma Specialist Network. 

Tracy also co-founded and is Chair, of the Annual Nursing and Allied Health Symposium for the International Myeloma Society (IMS).  

“I’m surprised and thrilled at receiving the HSANZ Leadership in Haematology award from the most collegial group I have had the privilege to be a member of for nearly two decades,” Tracy said. 

“I’m grateful to my colleagues, Jacqui Jagger and Andy Steele, for nominating me, and for HSANZ Council for recognising my contributions to haematology nurse education, mentorship and practice, and the supportive care of those with myeloma both within our region, and internationally.  

“I look forward to continuing to contribute to the great work of HSANZ, especially within the nursing and myeloma space.” 

This is the second year RPA’s Haematology Department has won the award, with Professor Joy Ho, Head of Department, presented with the same award in 2023.  

Congratulations Tracy!
