In the world of scientific research, collaboration is more than just a buzzword; it's the driving force behind transformative breakthroughs. 🌟 At the Alliance, we firmly believe that collaboration is the cornerstone of progress in the battle against ALS/MND. In our global pursuit of finding a cure and improving the lives of those affected by this challenging disease, we've heard this time and time again from allied health professionals - like Wendy Abrams. ALS/MND is a complex puzzle. By bringing together experts, organizations and researchers from around the world, we can accelerate the pace of discovery. We can explore innovative research avenues, leading to potentially groundbreaking breakthroughs. ALS/MND knows no boundaries, and neither should our efforts to combat it. Collaboration gives us a global perspective, ensuring that research benefits patients everywhere. And by working together, we can ensure that research remains patient-centric. It's about improving the quality of life for those living with ALS/MND today, while striving for a future without it. Help us celebrate the power of collaboration and share your thoughts on how it's transforming the landscape of ALS/MND research. 🌍❤️ You can also join us at the Allied Professionals Forum, uniting delegates in the ALS/MND field from 40+ countries: December 4-5 in Basel, Switzerland, or online.

Looking forward to having a proper read of this timely report! This digital creative roadmap emphasizes the importance of digitalisation and advanced technologies in the creative industries, in particular in gaming and animation. This echoes one of the many findings in the recent N-TUTORR green paper 'Unlocking pathways'. In alignment with this digital creative roadmap, our green paper identified a particular gap of sufficient micro-credential provision for 'Computer-aided design' in the Animation and Film industry (Figure 12, p.46).

📣 Differentiation in construction risk: how risk & finance offers can set their businesses apart in the eyes of underwriters, and how innovative carriers can attract the best clients. Thrilled to talk about this and more with Cynthia Garcia in Vegas next week!

Being part of the Institute for Public Relations’ new cohort with the desire to move the profession forward is exciting. Public Relations is not just a profession but a source of knowledge and experiences that shapes the future and improve our communities. #publicrelations #ipr #prsa

This will be a great webinar! I have great respect for Larraine Segil and John Driver, NACD.DC. It is critical that #boarddirectors have different backgrounds and share different points of view respectfully. These differences improve the organization's strategy and risk oversight. #corporategovernance #DirectorExcellence

✨ Maximising Potential: We Are the Public 8-9 May 2024 ✨ https://lnkd.in/eGjz5Js2 (I made a video) This post is dedicated to everyone who supported and took part in the 3rd Maximising Potential conference last week, dedicated to stages of leadership 1-3, self-identifying from under-represented groups. I have had some proud moments in policing, but last week's conference is my biggest achievement so far. Not just because I'm proud to have brought my vision to life, but because I got to host so many passionate and empathic individuals across policing in one place. It was such a powerful 2 days with opportunity to network, listen to lived experiences, and further inspire each other. Individually we can achieve a lot (we've shown that), but together we are unstoppable. I am so enthused to have so many new friends across policing! Some of my takeaways: 💡 Continue to build trust with each other, together we can achieve more 💡 United minorities make a majority 😉 💡 The importance of my allyship and breathing this into everything I do 💡 Those who believed in me and supported me when I didn't have a platform (they know who they are), and ensuring I am "that person" for others 💡 My passion and drive comes from being the person I needed 💡 That my opinion and values have only grown stronger 💡 I inherit the good and the bad, I own it, I am the organisation 💡 How on Earth do we top it next time?! 😅 With special thanks to: - Fireside chats- 8 May 🌟 Failure isn't Final -with Ahenkora Bediako 🌟 This is me! -with Nita Pankhania 🌟When life gives you lemons, you don't have to make lemonade! -with Grace Gayle (she/her) - The Conference- 9 May 🌟 Natasha Harris FCIPD for compèreing the day 🌟 Chief Constable Rachel Swann 🌟 The Complexity of Identity with Gamal Turawa (MIDHP) 🌟 Thinking Differently About People Who Think Differently -with Adam O'Loughlin MBA, Iain Jeffrey, John Holland and Declan Thomas 🌟 Hourglass Hustle -with Vinny Wagjiani 🌟 Breaking Barriers: The Journey of a Black Woman in Policing -with Tanya Wilkins 🌟 Pride and Prejudice -with Tracy O'Hara Stalls promoting national networks: 🎇 The National Neurodiversity Youth Council - https://lnkd.in/eCa7mmZJ 🎇 Police National Dyslexia Association - PNDA 🎇 National Police Autism Association https://www.npaa.org.uk/ 🎇 ADHD Alliance 🎇 National LGBT Police Network 🎇 British Association For Women In Policing 🎇 WoCiP Women of Colour in Policing (Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire) 🎇 National Women of Colour in Policing 🎇 National Sikh Police Association UK 🎇 National Police Library Last but by no means least, Steven Hall VR MCGI who was my "right-hand man" leading up to the event, and on the day too.
