The David Theile Lecture is delivered at the Annual State Meeting of the Queensland State Committee.
David Theile's enormous contribution to the College includes service as Chairman of the Queensland State Committee (1981-1982), member of College Council (1983-1995), censor-in-chief (1989-1991), vice-president (1991-1993) and president (1993-1995).
He has served with distinction on the Australian Medical Workforce Advisory Committee and as Chairman of the Pacific Islands Project. Theile's initiative led to a successful College tender for this project. This initiative was the start of much increased outreach activity by the College. He remains an active supporter of the College and of surgery on a number of fronts. David was awarded a Sir Hugh Devine Medal in 2001.
