- 40 | Dr. Renee Liang on bullying, locum paediatrics & creative professions
Dr. Renee Liang is a mid career paediatrician currently working in Northland. Over the course of her career she has mostly worked as a locum and on short contracts, which gives her flexibility to pursue her other careers in the arts and in research. She is known for her work in communities with migrant women and for telling the stories of her Chinese NZ community on stage and page.
In this episode, we discuss her journey into paediatrics, the bullying that was her catalyst for leaving full-time work, her creative journey and immense success across being a playwright, director, writer, and all creative professions, the relationship between art and medicine, and her work in The Bone Feeder and The Doctor Monologues.

Dr. Alana Harper is an emergency medicine specialist at Auckland City Hospital adult emergency department and a Pre-Hospital Retrieval Medicine Doctor with the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust (ARHT) for the past 10 years. She is also the ARHT clinical lead for patient safety and quality. Her Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) clinical work involves mostly helicopter and road primary missions and some inter-hospital retrieval.
Her clinical interests include pre-hospital and retrieval medicine (being my sub-specialty interest), clinical governance, patient safety and quality improvement (including research and audit), trauma care, simulation (and education delivery using simulation). She has recently been focusing my ongoing professional development on clinical leadership.Dr. Harper is responsible for setting up the Women in Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine Network NZ, which is forging strong networking and mentorship links for women in emergency medical services (both aeromedical and ground) in the North Island of New Zealand. She feels strongly about being a visible role-model and positive champion for young women wishing to pursue STEM careers, and for women clinicians (both medical and paramedical) wishing to pursue aeromedical careers and clinical leadership positions.
In this episode, we discuss her journey into emergency and pre-hospital retrieval medicine, the balance between the two, the stories that have stuck with her, the support and resilience of those working fields swimming in trauma and adrenaline, gender data gaps and Invisible Women, and her love for reading.
