Timothy Murrell donated the papers to the Library in five instalments
between 1996 and 2000.
The collection spans Murrells entire career from the 1960s when he
was as a medical officer and researcher in Papua New Guinea, until 1996, when
his official relationship with the University of Adelaides Faculty of
Medicine ended. Murrells early experiences, both as a student under the
notable human ecologist Clifford Jungfer, and as a patient
suffering from poliomyelitis, were doubtless formative, and contributed to his
view of general practice. Unfortunately, there is little direct evidence of
these early experiences here, only the evidence of later achievement. Apart
from the research series on pigbel and other enteric or intestinal infections,
the strength of this collection lies in its tracing the development of the
various teaching programs and facilities for the University of Adelaides
Department of Community Medicine over three decades, in the development of
general practice education, and in related public health research.
Dating from the late 1960s, there is correspondence, notes and readings
that reflect Murrells early interest in general practice and community
medicine. From his appointment as Reader (1973) and then commencement of the
Department of Community Medicine in 1975, and the elevation of Murrell as its
first professor, the papers reflect the approach to medical education and
various organisational arrangements in which Murrell was instrumental. These
include the establishment of teaching health centres at St Agnes, Ingle Farm
and The Parks, the innovation of a Foundation for Multi-disciplinary Education
in Community Health managed for a time by Murrells Unihealth Research and
Development Trust, the Family Practice Unit at Highbury, and later the General
Practice Teaching Unit at Modbury Hospital.
Murrells research and teaching philosophy come together in his
public health research work, reflected here in the series regarding Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome which, in common with the pigbel work, reveals his
interest in the mesh between the micro- and macro-environmental medicine.
Ecological principles and Murrells belief in general practice as a venue
for meaningful research outcomes are manifested in the progress of later
research into fibrocystic disease and breast cancer, Dupuytrens contracture and
Multiple Sclerosis. Likewise, the undergraduate and other teaching series
illustrate his emphasis on the patient-doctor communication within general
practice as a primary factor in achieving successful consultations.
Interestingly, while Murrell maintained long working relationships with
colleagues such as John Moss, and collaborations with researchers including P.
D. Walker, C. R. B. Blackburn, and Gregor Lawrence (pigbel), D. J. Deller
(intestinal motility), and H. R. Winefield (general practice education), it is
his connections with institutions that are most apparent in this collection.
Research and teaching relied on bonds with organisations such as the Wellcome
Research laboratories (UK), the Royal Australian College of General
Practitioners, Mothers and Babies Health Association, South Australian
Health Commission, the Adelaide Childrens Hospital, the S.I.D.S.
Foundation and others.
Arrangement note
The papers were received by the Library in working
condition: that is to say there was much interfiling of research,
administrative and teaching material. In many files, research, teaching and
administration are often inextricable. As one would expect, especially in
regard to a public health educator such as Murrell, much early research work
has been cannibalised. The pattern of re-using drop-files without necessarily
reorganising or purging has not lent itself to the creation of an accessible
file order based on the order in which the files were found. Where it is clear
that the file title reflects the bulk of file content, the title has been
retained in quotation marks. In many cases, however, existing file labels were
inaccurate. Consequently, many folders are described by content listings, and
placed within a series heading according to a majority rules logic.
Even so, there are some file-runs, which have been kept intact, such as for the
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome material, some of the pigbel and other research
subjects. In any event, the researcher would be well advised to review folder
descriptions carefully, as a considerable amount of material relevant to more
than one area has of necessity been given a single location.
While the content of most series are self-evident, there are two long
series (4-5) relating to the Department of Community Medicine that are more
complex. The first is administrative, and covers Murrells lengthy
involvement with the Department of Community Medicine at Adelaide University,
the development of teaching courses and facilities, research, study leave
arrangements and so on. The other, focusing on Murrells undergraduate
teaching, contains largely notes, instructional materials and course
information, often re-used and containing a certain amount of research
material. Other series are comprised of administrative material, research and
teaching together. All series are arranged chronologically, though occasional
exceptions occur where the file order within a particular series presents a
coherent logic of its own.
The three volumes in series 14 are particularly valuable, representing
Murrells entire body of published work and considerable amount of
unpublished material, including papers outlining Murrells approach to
community health teaching.
Biographical note
Timothy Murrell was the foundation professor of Community Medicine, in
the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Adelaide from 1975. In the
following two decades he was involved in setting up and running medical
education facilities that placed the general practitioner within the community,
and, according to this ecological model, highlighted the qualities
and potential of general practice. He developed a divisional trinity of
clinical epidemiology, medical sociology and general practice.
Murrells research and teaching philosophy emanated in part from
his formative experiences as a medical student. Born in Adelaide on 8 April
1933, he was educated at the Anglican collegiate school, St Peters, in
Adelaide. He graduated from the University of Adelaide in
1958. While there he spent his voluntary fifth year General Practice elective
with Clifford Jungfer, co-founder of the Royal Australian College of General
Practitioners. Jungfer practised as a human ecologist, at the community in the
Adelaide Hills town of Lobethal. Murrells other profound experience was
during his first year as a medical student. His encounter with the tail end of
a polio epidemic of 1950-52 rendered him almost totally paralysed. He recovered
fully from this event, though he spent several months ward-bound in the
Infectious Diseases Hospital at Northfield.
After a year as an inaugural R.M.O. at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in
Adelaide, Murrell served out a bond with the Department of Territories. Between
1960 and 1964, as District Medical Officer at Goroka, Wabag and Kundiawa, he
defined the aetiology and epidemiology of pigbel, a gangrenous intestinal
disease predominantly affecting children in the Highlands of New Guinea. His
survey, case work and reports led to measures that significantly reduced
mortality from the effects of the disease. During the late 1970s, World Health
Organisation Fellowships in Tehran and Nepal focused attention on pigbel on a
wider scale, and in 1978 Murrell was awarded a World Health Organisation
Medical Staff Society Medal. A colleague, Gregor Lawrence, described the
pathogenesis and control of pigbel by vaccination, and was awarded the Eric
Susman Prize by the Royal College of Australian Physicians in 1980.
Murrell returned to Adelaide as a temporary lecturer in medicine at the
University of Adelaide, where he wrote up his M.D. thesis on pigbel. In 1967 he
went to work at the General Practice Research Unit at Guys Hospital,
London, as the Nuffield Dominion Travelling Fellow in Medicine for Australia.
Soon after his return Murrell set up the St Agnes Health Centre, based on a
concept that had been developed for Thamesmead, an outer suburb of London. As
Reader in Community Medicine attached to the Department of Psychiatry at
Adelaide University from 1973, Murrell designed and taught subjects in three
years across the medical course, introducing community medicine into the
undergraduate medical curriculum. His design for the new Department of
Community Medicine in the ensuing years was one in which general practice and
public health were interrelated. The Family Practice Unit at Highbury, based on
his own clinical arrangements, and General Practice Teaching Unit at Modbury
Hospital were pioneering centres for undergraduate teaching and research at the
Adelaide University, surpassing and complementing general practice education
based entirely on preceptorships. The community model advocated by Murrell was
similarly reflected in the establishment of teaching health centres at Ingle
Farm, The Parks and elsewhere. The Foundation for Multi-disciplinary Education
in Community Health was established to provide conjoint education for students
from a range of health and social welfare professions.
Murrell was convinced that the general practitioner was an
under-utilised player in the world of medical research, and that
community-centred general practice provided the opportunity for extending
research on a number of frontiers. The idea that a general practitioner should
immerse himself or herself in the community shaped Murrells own research
work, including work on the role of sexual activity in male uric acid
metabolism, the hormonal response to female breast stimulation, and the
influence of poverty on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Ideas on the association
of raw farm products with Multiple Sclerosis were generated by his experience
serving as medical officer to the Multiple Sclerosis Society in Adelaide for
five years. The pathogenesis of Dupuytrens contracture came from
observations at Murrells lawn bowling club. Interest in doctor-patient
communication found expression in his teaching, and in later career research
into general practitioner-patient communication.
Murrells long association with the Royal Australian College of
General Practitioners, liaison with government health services, applications to
private and government and private organisations are apparent in his
reorganisation of teaching at the University of Adelaide, and in his later
research work. Notable private service achievements have included presidency of
the Australian Association of Academic General Practitioners, 1989-93, the
Royal Society for the Blind, 1990-92 and the Centre of Personal Education
(COPE) from 1993. Murrell is also a member of the Adelaide Club. In 1992, he
was awarded a Visiting Fellowship to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and the
following year was elected to the Jenner Educational Trust.

Series 2 Pikbel Foundation, 1963-92
Murrell began the Pikbel Foundation in 1979, following the work of
Gregor Lawrence in describing the control of pigbel, and his own work for the
World Health Organization. Essentially, the Foundation kept the disease before
the public eye with the aim of providing financial support and expertise for
research, treatment, training health workers, laboratory equipment and
information dissemination. The Foundations work documented here focused
on epidemiological work in Nepal, identification of the disease in Thailand,
and development of laboratory facilities in Adelaide. This brief series
contains Foundation material minutes describing the administration of the
Foundation: its objects, publicity and charitable arrangements, progress and
financial position. Intermingled are research papers on pigbel, reworked for
Foundation purposes.

1962-75
This series marks the beginning of Murrells career as a teacher,
administrator and promoter of general practice. It consists largely of
readings, papers, correspondence and notes prior to the establishment of the
Department of Community Medicine, including his early interest in British
health centres while at Guys Hospital in 1967-68. Subsequent material in
this series represents Murrells initial connections with South Australian
health and medical institutions in developing primary care, general practice
and community health care services. Readings on various subjects are included.

Series 4 Department of Community Medicine, 1973-96
This large series traces the formation and work of the Department of
Community Medicine and its relationship with the University and outside
organisations. The correspondence, memoranda, committee minutes, reports,
reviews and other material contained here refer largely to the construction of
individual courses and teaching facilities, the advancement of research
sponsored by the Department, and on the progress of the Department of Medicine
within the Faculty and the University. The series complements the one following
on the substance of Murrells teaching, and to some extent traces the
development of the teaching and community health centres contained in later
series.
The present series includes material pertaining to hospitals and other
institutions, the role of professional bodies, including the Professors of
Community Practice group, Family Medical Practice of the Royal Australian
College of General Practitioners, the South Australian Health Commission,
politicians and others in the development of community-based health care
delivery systems, and in undergraduate training programs in community medicine
and general practice. The Family Medical Practice correspondence is of
particular relevance in describing Murrells community health
relationships, and the development of community medicine in Australia during
the 1970s. A significant quantity of Departmental correspondence with medical
foundations, institutions and universities is included. This pertains in large
measure to Murrells St Agnes Health Centre and other proposed centres,
and papers sketching a framework for teaching community medicine. Later
material charts the development of research protocols and general practice
education within and outside the Department, including the impact of the Kerr
White Review in the mid-1980s. Also evident are ongoing communications with the
South Australian Health Commission, South Australian Health Department, and
state and federal politicians. Files concerning Murrells proposed
publication More cutting the tripe, and correspondence, notes,
readings and other material concerning Murrells 1992 sabbatical at Corpus
Christi College, Cambridge, are included.

Series 5 Department of Community Medicine, teaching,
1973-95
The teaching materials contained in this series are broadly described in
the item headings below. As suggested previously, some intermingling of
material, while useful in the description of Murrells teaching processes,
will be confusing to the reader. There are extensive course materials relating
to 2nd and 3rd Year Medicine in the Community courses (MUO2/MUO3) from the
mid-1970s. Murrell was instrumental in the design of these year levels, and,
along with colleagues such as Bob Douglas, coordinated both 2nd and 3rd Years
during his time with the Department of Community Medicine. The 2nd Year
material covers teaching of epistemology, epidemiology, health economics and
social analysis subjects, and arrangements for tutorial electives. The reader
should note also that 2nd Year students took part in the Relationships in
Community Health program, under the Foundation for Multi-disciplinary Education
in Community Health, referred to in series 6. Third Year material represents
social and preventive medicine, including arrangements with visiting lecturers.
Material relating to Murrells 6th Year teaching is included. This
generally describes arrangements made for general practice preceptorships,
country placements, and course material covering Patient management
interviews, Viva and Counselling teaching
subjects.

Series 6 Foundation for Multi-disciplinary Education in
Community Health, and Advisory Board for Multi-disciplinary Health Studies,
1976-91
This administrative and teaching series charts the development of
multi-disciplinary courses in community health at Adelaide University, bringing
together students from medicine, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, nursing,
psychology, social work, speech pathology, pharmacy and health surveying, and
includes details of Murrells relationships in community health course
during the 1980s. The reader should also refer to the general administrative
series 4, and teaching series 5.
The Foundation for Multi-disciplinary Education in Community Health
operated under the auspices of the Unihealth Research and Development Trust
Incorporated established by Murrell in 1976. This was a key instrument for the
administration of a number of teaching facilities, and features in Departmental
papers. Following the Kerr White Report in 1985 the University of Adelaide
received a financial package from the Commonwealth for the Department of
Community Medicine, expanding the staff and accommodation. Another consequence
was the amalgamation of the Foundation for Multi-disciplinary Education in
Community Health with the Department. Agreement was reached between the
University, the South Australian Health Commission and the Foundation for
Multi-disciplinary Education in Community Health that its functions be
transferred to the Department of Community Medicine. This took place in July
1987.

The Master of Public Health Degree was introduced in 1986 to accommodate
part and full time students in a post-graduate course involving thesis research
projects. The series includes details of compulsory and elective subjects, and
extensive materials for Working in Health Care and other courses. The degree
attracted students from many branches of the medical profession, and from
nursing, law, social work, administration and medical research. Provision of
extra resources by the federal Health Department in 1987 provided enlarged
student quotas and expanded course organisation.

Series 9 Highbury Family Practice Unit, and Modbury General
Practice Teaching Unit, 1975-93
The series includes administrative papers describing the establishment
and progress of the Family Practice Unit in the northern Adelaide suburb of
Highbury, managed on behalf of the University. Murrell was the central figure
in this innovation, which complemented the Departments reliance on
preceptors in the development of general practice education. From its
beginnings, the Family Practice Unit combined medical practice and teaching,
involving all 6th Year medical students. The series highlights the role of the
Unihealth Research and Development Trust, the development of a computer-based
record system, introduction of a registrar in community practice, and community
partnerships essential to the running of the Unit.
The establishment of a Teacher Training Practice connected
to Modbury Hospital, was unsuccessfully attempted by Murrell around 1980,
partly due to opposition within the medical fraternity, and it was not until
1990 that Murrell further committed the Department to family or general
practice teaching facilities. Included in the series are submissions, reports,
minutes, notes and other material that depict the early attempt by Murrell to
relocate his St. Agnes practice, and the later successful development of the
General Practice Unit with the appointment of Dr Robert Moorhead as
director.
Murrells general practice communication studies with Helen
Winefield, are also included in this series. It is important to note that in
addition to material pertaining to the Family Practice Unit and General
Practice Unit included here, relevant material may also be found in series
4.

Series 10 Public health research: Multiple Sclerosis,
1977-94
Murrells work on the disease multiple sclerosis asserted that an
environmental factor was involved in the aetiology of the disease. Contained in
this brief series are papers, drafts, correspondence and notes that review
Murrells interest in the sheep-Multiple Sclerosis connection.
Murrells initial observation was that that the disease occurred with
greater frequency in country districts. This anticipated development of a
hypothesis that connected farm animals and raw products with involvement of the
central nervous system through exposure to brucellosis.

Series 11 Public health research: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome,
1968-94
This series is quite discrete compared with others in the collection. It
is limited in the main to Murrells relationship with the Sudden Infant
Death Syndrome Association of Australia and the Adelaide Childrens
Hospital. The files have generally been retained in their original order.
Murrells research into anaerobic toxins contributed to a model for
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome related to his observations of a cot death case
early in his general practice experience at Tea Tree Gully. The series contains
draft papers, hypotheses, notes, readings, research funding applications and
reprints that represent Murrells ecological view of the disease,
investigations into the reducible risks of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and
hypotheses regarding bacterial toxins and the possibility of vaccine
potential.

The readings, research proposals, notes, reports, hypotheses,
correspondence and other material contained in this series provide evidence of
applied and hypothetical research on a broad range of public health questions.
Much of this work arose from Murrells general practice emphasis. Most
notably, Murrells research into uric acid levels in men and breast cancer
in women posed behavioural solutions. The series contains research material,
including draft papers and notes focusing on these two issues, followed by
research and readings on a variety of subjects, including hypothetical work on
the drug allopurinol and the resolution of Dupuytrens contracture.
