Sally Langley has blazed a trail into her new role - she's the second New Zealand woman to head up the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
In her 'day job' Christchurch-based Dr Sally Langley is a highly experienced plastic surgeon specialising in breast, skin and hand surgery.
For the last 20 years, she has held leadership roles in clinical practice and took over the role as President of the College from Tony Sparnon in May.
She is also an accomplished violin player and has, in the past, played for a couple of concert-level orchestras.
