... ...Vivian Statham...World War Two WW2 WWII Vivian Statham Michael Compton Leanne Cassidy 'Herald 16.11.89.' ...Matron Vivian Bullwinkel flew from Perth to Fairfield Hospital to witness the last graduates of the Basic Nursing and Aide/Enrolled Nurse Training program before training is turned over to colleges. Vivian set up the training program when she was the director of nursing at Fairfield, between 1961 and 1977. With this final class, the total graduates of the program reached 1195. Vivian acknowledged that while medicine and treatment as evolved with the times there is one thing that hasn't changed: people's needs. The nature of nursing means getting close to people and this was never more apparent than when in a Japanese POW camp Vivian and other fellow nurses were approached by another POW of a different nationality requesting help as they trusted them, not the people in authority.
