Judith Brown, the niece of Brislington doctor Keith Brown has carried on the family tradition of medicine. Judith’s great grandfather is Walter Brown who was a prominent and well-respected doctor who started practising in Parramatta in the 1850’s at the house Brislington and Parramatta Hospital.

Ms Brown attended Sydney University and graduated in 1950 with second class honours.
