Greg Paull Publisher Cambridge Media
Paula Erwin-Toth RN ET MSN FAAN
FIRST RECIPIENT OF WCET® HONORARY MEMBER AWARD
Greg Paull, from Perth Australia, has been publishing the WCET Journal, on behalf of WCET® since 1 July 1996 and has attended every Congress since then in his role as publisher. Greg has been a true supporter and advocate for the WCET®. Over the past 26 years, he has served the WCET® well in numerous ways including for over 10 years on the Publications & Communications Committee before joining the Education Committee when the Constitution was changed. His donations to WCET® include the annual sponsorship of a member, bullETin magazine, ID Handbook, NNGF Birthday Cards and other design items over the years.
He first co-presented (with the Journal Editor) a Writing Workshop in Singapore for the 2000 Congress and has done so a number of times since. He has also recorded a video with the editor on how to get published in the WCET®Journal which is available on the association’s website.
WCET® Boards have often sought advice/input on commercial, industry and sponsorship matters. One of his most distinguishing contributions of his publishing creativity and caring for the well-being of WCET® is when in 2010 he helped to initiate the Sustaining Journal Partnership with then Editor and now Executive Editor Emeritus as well as developing a strategic plan in 2004 to redesign the journal to improve its impact factor and international standing.
Sally J Gill-Thompson has been an Enterostomal Therapist since 1971 after training at Cleveland Clinic with her mother, Norma Gill-Thompson, and Rupert Turnbull MD. She was fortunate to have witnessed the inception of UOA, NAAET (now WOCN®) and WCET®.
Sally’s ET career has spanned over 50 years practising as an ET consultant to several local hospitals in Ohio, and in management, first for the family ostomy supply business and later for other medical equipment companies. For over 35 years she served as a clinical trial investigator for ostomy manufacturers resulting in the launch of new and innovative products for persons with an ostomy. Even after retirement she continues to be an advocate for persons with an ostomy, often seeing them in their homes. Sally is a contributing author to several publications including the Festschrift honouring her mother, Norma N GillThompson ET.

From 1990 to 2012 she served as the Program Director for the RB Turnbull of School of WOC Nursing Education. She was motivated in her career choice after undergoing ostomy surgery at the age of 10. By a fortuitous turn of fate, her ET was none other than Norma Gill. Norma was not only a wonderful caregiver, she also acted as a mentor and friend. Ms Erwin-Toth was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award as a ‘Legend in WOC Nursing Education’ by the WOCN and was named as a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing. She has served on the boards of numerous professional and patient support organisations and is a well recognised clinician, author, speaker and researcher.
