TraumaCare

I was asked to present at TraumaCare last month which was a fantastic experience. TraumaCare is an international medical conference which encourages a multidisciplinary approach in medicine. I was presenting on the Emotional Trauma of Rehabilitation and the Patient Perspective.


TraumaCare have done a lot of work to raise awareness of trauma as a specialism and I would certainly recommend that you check out their website at:

This was a fantastic experience and something which I really enjoyed, The presentation went very well, regardless of the tech gremlins and I have received some very positive feedback about both the presentation and my work which is such a confidence boost. I just want to say a huge thank you to Professor David Alexander for being my travel companion and putting my name forward to present, it is something which I thought I would never be able to do without his support and guidance.

I am an Entrepreneur

Last month I was awarded a bursary through Materials KTN to attend an Entrepreneurship conference in London which was held on Monday the 19th of April.

This was a fantastic opportunity for me and a real eye opener as to where to take my project next and possible next steps. Throughout the day there were several presentations from people who work in the patenting office to current entrepreneurs to presentation coaches.

Key points which were highlighted during the conference included the essential aspects of intellectual property rights and financial funding alongside support networks and routes to help you take your product further.
