Liz O’Riordan

Speaker, Author and Storyteller

Liz O’Riordan is an international speaker, broadcaster and award-winning co-author of ‘The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer: How to Feel Empowered and Take Control’. In 2015 (aged 40) she was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer whilst working as a Consultant Breast Surgeon. A locoregional recurrence in 2018 forced her to retire as a surgeon. Her memoir, ‘Under The Knife’, will be published in the summer of 2023 (pre-order here https://unbound.com/books/under-the-knife/).

During chemotherapy she started an award-winning blog about her experiences (www.liz.oriordan.co.uk) and now talks all over the world about how to improve patient care. In 2020 she launched her podcast – Don’t Ignore The Elephant – that talks about the things no-one else does, like sex, death and body image. Liz is passionate about promoting the benefits of exercise for cancer patients.
