Dr Rob McEvoy, co-founder of Medical Forum and well-known to many of our long-time readers, died earlier this month.
The veteran GP opted for voluntary assisted dying on April 17, after spending his last four years battling progressive supranuclear palsy.
Medical colleagues will remember him for his strong commitment to their profession, and in particular his championing of general practice.
Rob and his work and life partner Jenny started Medical Forum, in its current form, 23 years ago as an independent, ethical and free-to-readers news magazine for West Australian doctors.
Those underlying publishing values have seen the magazine become staple reading for WA doctors and a valued voice for the medical profession.
