Vale John Harvey Alexander

It is with a great deal of sadness that, once again, the Society informs its members of the passing of another esteemed member, John Harvey Alexander.

Harvey, as he was known by all, passed away after an extended illness on 1 April 2020, his 77th birthday.

Remembered as a highly respected surgeon and great champion of urology at Royal North Shore Hospital, many have commented on his skills as a teacher and mentor, noting the way he nurtured and encouraged his registrars to develop confidence in their own ability, and allowed them to take responsibility and work independently on their own cases - noted by one former registrar as 'invaluable training'.

A formal obituary for Harvey will be published in the coming weeks.

Vale John Harvey Alexander.
