Southampton we are back! It feels like only yesterday I was driving down to Southampton to start ICURe and now 11 weeks later I find myself back and at the end of the journey. To say the last 11 weeks have been a whirlwind would be an incredible understatement, and I’m both excited for the…
It’s hard to believe that my month long trip to the US is coming to an end! Miami was the perfect final destination to attend my last conference and start scaling down my meetings. With the options roundabout only 2 weeks away (the end of ICURe), it’s important to take time to collate my market…
After a whirlwind trip to New york for meetings, I have now arrived in Las Vegas for my next US health conference: Health Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2025. While this might not sound like the most riveting conference in the world, HIMSS is a world-famous conference attracting over 25,000 delegates from more 88…
And we’re back! This week I arrived in sunny (but freezing!) Nashville, Tennessee! It feels like only yesterday I was on Jumeirah Beach in Dubai, so it feels somewhat surreal to be back into the winter weather and navigating a snow storm! I’m here for ViVe, a digital health conference that claims to be the…
Another week, another city (or 3) and another blog post! This week has been another whirlwind, I’ve been in Milan, Amsterdam and Oxford to continue my market exploration journey. For those that have been reading from the start, you may remember that as part of the 12-week ICURe programme I have been challenged with having…

I’m writing this blog post from the balcony of my hotel in downtown Dubai, looking out over the Burj khalifa, the world’s tallest building. It definitely beats the view from…
The training wheels well and truly came off this week as I officially began my ICURe market exploration journey. It’s hard to believe it’s been a whole week since bootcamp in Southampton and I never imagined having a more productive and busy January in my entire life! This week, I started to put the training…
I survived bootcamp! For anyone worried about where the ‘Bootcamp (Part 2)’ blog update was last week – fear not, I did make it to the end. I took the weekend to get my reflections down on paper so apologies for the slightly later post than planned. The second half of bootcamp was just as…
This week my ICURe journey well and truly started, with a whirlwind trip to Southampton for bootcamp. After weeks of research and sorting out all of the ICURe-related administration it was finally time to pack my bags and head off to the first event of the programme, bootcamp at the lovely Chilworth Manor in Southampton….
Welcome to my first blog post! Before I dive into what I’ve been up to on week 1, I’m going to give a quick overview of what ICURe explore actually is and what I’ll be doing over the next 12 weeks as an entrepreneurial lead. ICURe, stands for “Innovation-to-Commercialisation of University Research” and is the…
