Lillian Reza
ST8, West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital
Lillian Reza is an ST8 colorectal surgical resident in the London Deanery and a PhD
candidate at St Mark’s Hospital. She is currently undertaking an Out of Programme for
Training year at West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals and will continue her robotic training
through a dedicated post-CCT robotic colorectal fellowship at the same trust.
She has a strong interest in improving how surgical training is delivered, particularly as new
technologies become embedded in routine clinical practice. As President of The Dukes’ Club
(2023–2024), she led national surveys evaluating the quality and consistency of colorectal
training in colonoscopy and inflammatory bowel disease, developed a robotic-assisted
webinar series with international proctors, and has been a strong advocate for widening
access to robotic training. Most recently, she has collaborated with ACPGBI, The Dukes’
Club, and the RSM Coloproctology Section to deliver the Colorectal Training Delphi
Study - a national consensus study defining future priorities in colorectal surgical training
from both trainer and resident perspectives.
