I’m looking forward to chairing the panel discussion today at #AHEP2025 - Addressing challenges across the four nations: what can HEls across the UK learn from each other to ensure their sustainability?
I’ll be joined by three excellent panelists, David Duncan, Lynda Brady and Professor Joe Yates.

Day 16
The front cover of The Great Gatsby, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, depicting a black and white, slightly sepia tone, image of a woman in 1920s clothing sitting back in a chair and a man in a dark suit sat with his back to us, leaning into her. He is holding a short glass, presumably of alcohol, on the table between them. Also on the table is an ashtray with two lit cigarettes balanced on the side and a cigarette or tobacco tin.

Day 7
The front cover of the book ‘I Am Legend’ by Richard Matheson. It is dark blue-grey tones, with skeletal and near skeletal faces facing forwards, the front face has its mouth open and pointy vampire-like teeth showing and no eyeballs, just bloody socket. Its hands are outstretched like it’s going to grab you.
