Digital Health Unplugged: A chat with Liz O'Riordan

What this episode covers

Host Andrea Downey chats one-on-one with Liz O'Riordan, consultant breast surgeon and award-winning co-author of 'The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer: How to Feel Empowered and Take Control'. O'Riordan speaks about her own breast cancer diagnosis in 2015 and her experience of the health system from a patient's perspective. Despite her work as a breast cancer surgeon, O'Riordan said her experience in the consulting room hadn't prepared her for the experience of being a patient, adding that technology provided access to information when she needed it the most.
