From the Chair
Thank goodness the Large Hadron Collider didn't create a black hole and
swallow the planet back in September, else you wouldn't be here to read

before the next one. Tough love, Stempra. Tough love.

strategy should be next summer, we have reported what happened right
here.
Are press conferences old news?
Stempra's first event in Scotland was better attended than some press conferences I've been to. But maybe that's saying something about the quality of the press conferences I get to go to. What makes it a hit or a miss? Should we still be doing them? Now over to Tara Womersley with the roundup of the regional news...
Interview:
Jane Gizbert - Director of Communications at National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence
Following seven years of service at the Medical Research Council, Jane
Gizbert took up the position of Director of Comms at NICE in September.
Stempra newsletter caught up with her to find out just exactly now nice is NICE. And if NICE isn't nice, then why do they call it NICE? Because that wouldn't be, well, nice at all.
