Campbell was the third of four siblings. Her youngest brother Donald was the barrister who defended Frank Hardy in the Power without Glory trial.[3] EducationDespite Campbell's parents' appreciation for an education, the family's low financial situation meant her elder two brothers left school early. Campbell attended the Manningtree Road Primary School and while attending she was awarded a Junior Program Government Scholarship to the Methodist Ladies College, Melbourne. Later in 1917, she was provided a Senior Government Scholarship which enabled her to continue further studies at the University of Melbourne.[4] Campbell completed her MBBS in 1922 and her MD in 1924.[5] She graduated from medical school with luminaries such as (Sir) Frank Macfarlane Burnet and (Dame) Jean Macnamara, as well as Lucy Meredith Bryce, Rupert Willis and George Simpson.[3] CareerAfter graduating from her MBBS (1922), alongside Dr Jean Macnamara, she was admitted to residency at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.[3] At the hospital, female residents where habitually inhibited in their responsibilities[5] by being restricted to less critical cases and being excluded from involvement in casualty duty.[3] Campbell and Macnamara decided that they needed more experience and exposure in child and maternal health[3] and so decided on moving to the Royal Children's Hospital[2] where they became one of the first few female resident medical staff. However, initially the Children's Hospital had been claiming to lack the facilities needed to accommodate the female doctors.[3] It was only until (Sir) William Upjohn pleaded Campbell and Macnamara's special case with the hospital's board that they received the positions. In future years, Upjohn boasted "that [his] entry to heaven was assured by the fact that [he] got Jean Macnamara and Kate Campbell on at the Children's".[3] It was stated by the Australian Dictionary of Biography that it was while holding a two-year-old girl's hand at the Children's Hospital that Campbell realised she wanted to specialise in children's health.[3] Due to gender discrimination in her work place, Campbell resigned and became the first honorary paediatrician at the Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne[5] from 1924 to 1927 where she filled the position of the Resident Medical Officer.[2] In 1927, Campbell established her own general medical practise in Essendon,[6] Melbourne.[2] She worked there for a decade. Coinciding with working at her general medical practise, she worked closely with Dr. Vera Scantlebury Brown who was introducing aspects of child welfare in Australia.[3] Campbell and Brown knew each other previously from completing their Doctorates of Medicine (1924) at the University of Melbourne together.[3] When Brown toured New Zealand to investigate the various infant care methods of Dr.Truby King, Campbell had assumed the training of infant welfare nurses which Brown had been responsible of.[3] This was the initiation of Campbell's lifelong association with the Victorian Baby Health Centres Association, for which she was a medical officer for until 1965.[2] Through the role of medical officer, the responsibilities were to visit centres throughout Victoria and act as examiner for the State Infant Welfare Certificate. Campbell and Brown wrote a book called A Guide to the Care of the Young Child (1947),[5] which remained the standard reference textbook for sisters of infant welfare until 1972.[3] Despite sexism and discrimination against females then seeking medical careers, Campbell was named as "honorary paediatrician" to the Queen Victoria Hospital in 1926, resigning from the role in 1965.[2] From 1929-1965,[2] alongside Campbell's responsibilities as medical officer, she was appointed the first clinical lecturer for the University of Melbourne in infant welfare, specialising in neonatal paediatrics.[3] Through her lectures she educated a multitude of future doctors.{{cn|date=March 2018}} In 1965 until she retired in 1979, she filled the position of Consultant Paediatrician at the Queen Victoria Hospital.[2] Research and discoveriesJanet McCalman, Australian historian, described Campbell as having "clinical sensitivity, epidemiological curiosity and being meticulous";[3] qualities of which translated into evolving research on neonatal intensive care and a range of important advances in the medicine of newborns. Her research led to the creation of various reports, some of which regarding: infection control, neonatal feeding, neonatal jaundice in premature infants, electrolyte and fluid tolerance in newborns and also the effects of trauma in delivery.[3] Through all these investigations and research, she became a specialist in children's diseases. Campbell's most distinguished contribution in research was, in 1951, in establishing and proving that excess therapeutic oxygen in humidicribs acquired retrolental fibroplasia[5] - a condition which could lead to blindness in premature babies. HonoursFor her contribution to children welfare, she was awarded:[2][3][5]
