Tamzin Cuming became the Chair of the Women in Surgery Forum in September 2021. She is a consultant colorectal surgeon at Homerton Hospital in London with a specialist interest in anal neoplasia. Tamzin trained in the North East Thames rotation during which she had three children and spent some time training flexibly as well as some time out of training while her children were young. She is keen that all who are interested indeed inspired to do surgery are enabled to fulfil that ambition irrespective of their gender, ethnicity, sexuality or parental status.
