Aikaterina Gkorila

Katerina is a Plastics-themed Core Surgical Trainee in Wessex. Born and raised in Greece, moved to UK for her medical studies. After graduating from University of Cambridge in 2019, she pursued her Foundation training in Oxford. Following her recruitment to join the RCSEng Emerging Leaders programme in 2024, she aims to use this opportunity to contribute to an inclusive and equitable future for the surgical profession.

In August 2023, Katerina took on the role of Wessex Regional Representative for the ASiT council. Passionate about elevating the standards of surgical training, she champions open communication within the surgical community and creating positive sustainable impact. In March 2024, Katerina was elected to join the Executive Committee as Communications Officer. Her aim is to promote transparency and communication with ASiT’s growing membership base as the council continues stronger than ever to advocate for all surgeons in training. She warmly welcomes any thoughts, queries, or concerns that need to be raised at a national level.
