Had a fantastic day pitching at the Founders Factory Children’s Health Accelerator Boot Camp selection day yesterday at Alderhey Children's Hospital , Liverpool.

Real sliding door doors moment for me as it was where I completed part of my doctoral training in the severe learning disabilities team and community CAMHS service. It was so wonderful to be back, and to present in this beautiful building, the Institute in the park…https://buff.ly/45rBEEo

A most excellent day with the Founders Factory team who were extremely warm and inviting, as were the Alder Hey Innovation Team who shared their insights, knowledge and clinical expertise.

Whatever the outcome, it was a fantastic day of learning and networking!

What are your goals for this week?

Looking forward to joining this panel at later today.

Food, fashion, fabulous talks.

Next week I will be joining the 50 Hours of Focus lecture series at Contact Theatre Manchester, which is aimed at supporting artists to overcome challenges within their industry, including managing their own wellbeing and mental health: https://buff.ly/3kAzH6C

I will be delivering my workshop 'Taking Care of Your Brain' on Weds 1st Feb and will be talking about this from a neuropsychological perspective and sharing some practical tools and tips which everyone will be able to implement in their lives.

Being an artist and a performer is a hugely demanding and in many ways uncertain profession, with frequent changes in the people you are working with and the environments you are working in and, as well as successes, losses and rejections are also very common. All of this can understandably have a detrimental impact on your wellbeing and we will explore how such stresses impact the brain and what can be done to try to mitigate.

I look forward to seeing everyone there!

50 Hours of Focus - Contact 50 HOURS OF FOCUS is a week of talks, workshops and masterclasses that explore the arts industry's most burning issues.
