Title: Managing your career in today's rapidly changing environment

Abstract: The life sciences landscape is changing rapidly. Impacted by tariff wars and reduced funding, many organisations are restructuring or merging. People with ten years of service suddenly find themselves redundant. What can you do to be ahead of the curve and ready for something like this to happen to you? Ted, who has held senior roles at Glaxo, MRC, Wellcome Trust, and biotechs like Vernalis and Immunocore, supports numerous life science mentees, helping them enhance their CVs, improve interview techniques, and networking skills (even for introverts!). He'll share his thinking with us as he guides us through some practical steps. Ted consults in the development of organisations and is a published author (about HR, Hidden Disabilities, People Watching, and many illustrated children's stories).
