Former Ipswich surgeon Liz O'Riordan reveals her experience of sexual harassment during training.
Dr O'Riordan finished medical school and began her career as a junior doctor in south Wales in 1998, working, she said, up to 100 hours per week.In 2015 she found herself on the other side of the operating table, undergoing a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy to treat breast cancer - and her ovaries were removed following a recurrence in 2018.
Dr O'Riordan says she suspects sexual harassment is still prevalent in hospitals because of the personalities the profession attracts, the authority it commands for senior staff and the "easy access" in coffee rooms and in corridors. Dr O'Riordan said she would like to see an improved scheme of male and female mentors in hospital who staff can trust "in confidence".She now works as an author, public speaker and podcaster and details her experiences in a new memoir.
