We are delighted to announce that Dr Liz O’Riordan will present the opening Keynote Address at #ACNC2025, speaking on Improving The Quality Of Cancer Care.

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.

“Uniformly excellent this year.”

 

“I have been to 28 Conferences over the years, and this was one of the best. Many shared that view that I spoke to. Speaker quality was excellent. The management was seamlessly smooth as well. I am sure that this event causes many sleepless nights, but you would never know. It runs so smoothly. It really was a great event. Thank you AVMA.”

 

“It was my first time at AVMA and one of the best conferences I have been to. Great speakers and attendees. A total smooth operation from AvMA. Only problem is I will have to fight other colleagues for the 2025 conference.”
