Reference excerpt

Jacqueline E. Curtis AM, best known as Jackie Curtis, is a psychiatrist and mental health clinician, director of the Mindgardens Neuroscience Network, and was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 2024 for "service to medicine, particularly as a mental health clinician and researcher". Her research aims to reduce health inequalities among communities and increase life expectancy. She is a professor at the University of New South Wales.

Education and career Curtis graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine, and Bachelor of Surgery from the University of New South Wales. Curtis's research bridges the gaps between mental and physical health care. Curtis is the clinical lead and a psychiatric professor at the Youth Mental Health within the South Eastern Sydney Local Area Health District. She is co-founder of iphYs, an international working group which advocates for improved physical health outcomes for young people who experience mental health conditions such as psychosis. Curtis is also a member of the international organisation, the World Health Organisation, for international guidelines on the management of physical health amongst adults and young people with severe mental disorders. During Curtis's Margaret Tobin oration, on the intersection of mental and physical health, and the colleagues and patients who impacted her journey, she highlighted the following calls to action:

Each practitioner is responsible for their patient's quality of care, and practitioners need to 'stand with the patients' and put themselves on the 'right side of history'. Administrative psychiatry is not separate from the clinicians day job, and it is important to go where your observations take you. Public psychiatry is very rewarding, and with disadvantaged patients, together with over-worked colleagues, clinicians have the potential to make a difference.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jackie Curtis (psychiatrist)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jackie Curtis (psychiatrist) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jackie Curtis (psychiatrist) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jackie Curtis (psychiatrist) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jackie Curtis (psychiatrist)

In research: Jackie Curtis (psychiatrist) appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jackie Curtis (psychiatrist) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jackie Curtis (psychiatrist) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Australian women academics, Australian women scientists, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jackie Curtis (psychiatrist) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
