Summary
William (Jerry) Moore had a longstanding association with the (Royal) Melbourne Hospital. He began there as a house surgeon in 1883 and progressed to be 'the perfect surgeon' who specialised in skin complaints and plastic surgery. In fact, Jerry Moore wrote one of the first books on plastic surgery. He was a member of the hospital board for over twenty years and was instrumental in the introduction of an electoral system for appointments to the board (1910). Moore also worked at St Vincent's Hospital (1899-1906), was a committee member of the Austin Hospital, a councilor of the Medical Society of Victoria, a councilor of the British Medical Association - Victorian branch, and he ran his own private hospital (Milton House) in Melbourne. He was the first person to receive a Master of Surgery degree from the University of Melbourne and co-founder of the university's Medical Students' Society.
