Tributes are flowing in for Dr Kerri Parnell (pictured), Australian Doctor’s former editor, who died on Monday from breast cancer.
Kerri, a leading figure in Australian medical publishing, combined a deep passion for general practice with a larger-than-life personality, a love of fun and warm-hearted mischief.
She spent more than 15 years with Australian Doctor, becoming its editor-in-chief.
In 2010, the RACGP awarded her a Life Fellowship for her “tireless advocacy” for the specialty, which was always central to her professional life.
