- Abstract
Quote: "On graduation, Dr Hamilton worked as a resident medical officer at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. On 3 June 1926 she was appointed assistant medical officer in the Department of Public Health. There she met the pathologist Dr Elsie Dalyell. They began work on the treatment of venereal disease in women, a lengthy process in the pre-penicillin era. Late in 1927 they established a venereal disease clinic at the Rachel Forster Hospital for Women and Children, Redfern, and offered treatment and counselling. Hamilton's sympathetic, if forthright, nature endeared her to her clients."
