Speaking Up with Rhea Liang

Rhea Liang is a Consultant General and Breast surgeon from the Gold Coast in Australia. With the possible exception of Schrodinger’s cat, there can be few who have yet to be touched by her social media presence where she is nothing less than a force of nature. For over a decade, Rhea has driven the agenda for change by promoting equity and diversity issues in Surgery. The results have impacted not only on women in Surgery but also on those from minority ethnic backgrounds. Despite all this she is without doubt a very reluctant interviewee. Even now she is still not convinced that her story is one the wider international surgical community is eager to hear. But we have agreed to differ on this point.
