Thank you to the lovely ladies at the Breast Screening mobile unit Tescos Guildford
Today, I’m going for my first breast scan, and the timing during Breast Cancer Awareness Month feels right. I’ve always known about the importance of early detection, but this year, it really hit home. Early detection can save lives. Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been full of powerful stories, reminding me to prioritize my health. The idea of facing this scan has been scary but I’m choosing to view it as an act of self-care. Taking control of my health now is crucial—not just for today, but for my future. I come from a family who has been affected by Breast Cancer my aunt is a survivor and I am so proud of her achievement through some of the scariest months of her life. The statistics are clear: early detection increases the chances of survival, and yet it’s so easy to put off something as simple as a scan. As I’ve learned more, I’ve realized how crucial it is to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to breast health. Whether it’s knowing your family history or simply being aware of changes in your body, information is power. I’m using this awareness to take my health into my own hands. If you’ve been putting off your own checkup, I encourage you to use this month as motivation. It’s a reminder to take action, because awareness is only the first step. And don’t forget Breast Cancer does not only affect women, men too. So, if you notice changes please go and see your doctor. Today my scan is happening in Tesco’s car park in the mobile screening unit because health comes first, no matter where! Today, I’m doing something about it—and you can too. #breastcancerawareness #wearitpink
At Actica and Ntegra, it’s hugely important to us to make sure that we support the mental wellbeing of our colleagues, both on #WorldMentalHealthDay and every other day of the year! This year, as well as releasing new internal support resources, and we’re reminding team members to take time to prioritise mental wellbeing. Here are a few of our suggestions: • Take breaks: Step away from your desk and stretch, breathe, or go for a walk to clear your mind. • Speak up: If you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling, don’t hesitate to reach out for support. • Practice mindfulness: A few minutes of mindfulness or meditation can help reduce stress and improve focus. • Check in on each other: A kind word or gesture can go a long way - maybe make an effort to go for a coffee and a chat with a colleague. • Spend time with your team: You could try and make time to check in with a different member of your team each day, or celebrate a recent success together. Let’s make today an opportunity to put wellbeing first and support one another.

As a leader at Actica Consulting, part of the wider #ActicaGroup, I’m clear that part of my responsibility is promoting and nurturing initiatives that centre our values. However, I’m equally clear that the best of these don’t come ‘top down’, but from the experience and insights of our great people. 👏 Nicholas Coppendale Izzy Robson Jade Pavitt and Andrea Hadfield for your recent energy and commitment in strengthening our support to LGBTQ+ colleagues, and the wider LGBTQ+ community.

I'm not much of a poster on LinkedIn, although maybe I should make more of an effort, but I was struck by something in the last week that I wanted to reflect on. Twenty years, give or take a week, after starting university, I returned (avoiding fresher’s flu this time…) to join the first cohort on the UK Space Agency funded ‘Securing the future of Space: Space software and Data/AI’ at the University of Portsmouth, including academics from University of Southampton (my old stomping ground) and University of Surrey and in conjunction with Space South Central – a really big thanks to everyone involved! Myself and Aaron Green from Actica Consulting were fortunate enough to join the course as they upskill mid-career professionals in AI, data, and software skills within the Space domain. As an astrophysicist by training and still passionate about anything related to space, I was excited to get back into it and learn about some of the intricacies of our use of Space. From the preceding six weeks of lectures and then three days of in-person learning (with an eight-week project still to come), I've learned a huge amount about topics in detail that don't usually play into my daily work life but do build upon it and my former training, such as onboard FPGAs, AI, and HSMs in space and some things that I'm sure I'll never have to understand fully (like cold welding of spacecraft and lubricant outgassing). It's really been a fantastic experience and the private Mary Rose tour and fancy dinner didn't hurt either. So what? I've come away feeling completely energised from learning something new and having a much greater appreciation of the space domain and its challenges. But the thing that struck me was just how important it is to keep learning. We all know this inherently, and there are thousands of LinkedIn or motivational posts out there on the subject, but I was genuinely surprised by the personal impact it had on me to learn something different or adjacent to my usual work. It's got my brain firing, using parts that haven't been touched in a while, motivating me further, and has been generally great for my mental health - particularly relevant on World Mental Health day! As one of Actica’s Cyber Security Service line leads, I’m now considering how I can include more adjacent learning that keeps the brain engaged and malleable that supports our security consultants, but isn’t necessarily directly security focussed – any ideas gratefully received! For now, I’m excited to turn my hand to wrangling some space data and building out my own neural network!
