Upcoming Meetings:
June 25th, 2026
The next meeting of the SAMHS will be held on Thursday, 25th of June at the Dulwich Community Centre, 14 Union St, Dulwich at 6:00 pm.
We are pleased to announce that Marilyn Betchley CT(ASC), CFIAC will be presenting at our June meeting on: "Cervical Cytology in the Kingdom of Bhutan".
Marilyn trained in the then relatively new science of cytology at Prince Henry's Hospital, Melbourne, in 1970 and passed an international examination in 1973. Her career took her to England, Saudi Arabia and Canada before she returned to Australia in 1982 to work at Gribbles Pathology. She subsequently worked in the Cytology Departments of Clinpath and Adelaide Pathology Partners.
For the past twenty years, Bhutan has been a particular focus of her interest. During five visits she contributed to the development of cytology services in the country, and in 2024 she returned with her husband as a guest to visit friends and observe the remarkable achievements of the Bhutanese Cytology Department.
Mrs Marilyn Betchley - "Cervical Cytology in the Kingdom of Bhutan"
