Invited Speakers

Upcoming SWOSA Round: The Little Things that Matter

Speaker: Dr. Liz O’Riordan 

Liz O’Riordan is an international speaker, best-selling author and podcaster. In 2015, aged 40, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer whilst working as a consultant breast surgeon.  She co-wrote ‘The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer: How to Feel Empowered and Take Control’ in 2018.

A local recurrence in 2018 forced her to retire as a surgeon, and she now educates breast cancer patients all over the world with educational videos. Her memoir, ‘Under the Knife’, was released in July 2023, and her podcast ‘Don’t Ignore the Elephant’ that talks about the things no-one else does, like sex, death and body image.
