RACS’s Trauma Committee has been pivotal in helping prevent acute trauma in the community. That includes encouraging surgeons to pursue a trauma specialty.

Instrumental to its success is Dr Li Hsee, who stepped down as Chair of the Aotearoa New Zealand Trauma Committee in late 2022, after eight years in the role.

Among other leadership roles in trauma both at home and internationally, Dr Hsee’s responsible for the development and implementation of the first Acute Surgical Unit in Aotearoa New Zealand. He’s also the Clinical Director in General Surgery at Auckland City Hospital.
