Two of our in-house HIV experts attended HIVR4P 2024 (the 5th HIV Research for Prevention Conference) last week in Lima, Peru. Kristian and Olivia were on the ground to support a client, and to keep up to date on the latest advancements in HIV prevention research.   Looking forward to the valuable insights they'll bring back from this important conference!   #CultureTalentExcellence #HIVR4P2024 #HIVResearch #HIVPrevention #MedComms   [Descriptive text for people who use screen readers: The image shows the white Aspire Scientific logo over a large orange circle. Photos of Kristian and Olivia at the HIVR4P 2024 congress, and sightseeing in Lima surround and part-fill the orange circle. White and orange text to the left of the photos reads, ‘Aspire Scientific at HIVR4P 2024 in Lima, Peru’]

We've Achieved Carbon Neutral+ Status for Another Year!   For the third consecutive year, we’ve achieved Carbon Neutral+ status! This milestone underscores our commitment to minimising our impact on the environment. Through thoughtful energy management and carbon offsetting via support for climate projects, we’re not just balancing the scales - we’re actively making a positive impact on the environment.   What does Carbon Neutral+ mean? It means we've offset 25% MORE than our total carbon emissions, contributing to a cleaner, healthier planet. All of our business travel is offset, as is the energy we use in our offices, and the energy used to power our company vehicles (and more). To offset 125% of our carbon emissions in 2024, we've invested in the Arca hydro electric power plant in Turkey, providing affordable and clean energy, and reducing CO2 emissions in the region.   Huge thanks to our Corporate Responsibility workstream members who continue to assess and manage our carbon offsetting process and other environmental initiatives.   #CultureTalentExcellence #AspireCorporateResponsibility #CarbonNeutralPlus #MedComms (Descriptive text for people who use screen readers: On a dark blue background with transparent orange circles, is a white logo with a foot icon inside a circular arrow, reading ‘carbon footprint standard™ Carbon Neutral+ Organisation’. The title reads reads: “Our continued commitment to remaining Carbon Neutral+” The Aspire Scientific logo in white is in the bottom right hand corner of the image.)

We’re delighted that one of our team members, Kristian Clausen, MPH, CMPP, recently underwent training with EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY UK LIMITED to become certified as an EDI Champion as part of her work on our Corporate Responsibility workstream. “Considering the impacts of equity, diversity and inclusion is important in any workplace. However, it is particularly important in medical communications, where it is crucial to be unbiased in our writing and carefully consider the language we use in our work, as it will ultimately impact patients’ lives.” (Kristian) #CultureTalentExcellence #PeopleFirstAspire #AspireScientific #AspireCorporateResponsibility #MedComms #ProfessionalDevelopment #MedicalCommunications #EquityDiversityInclusion  [Descriptive text for people who use screen readers: The image shows the white Aspire Scientific logo over a large orange circle.

Yesterday, our team (and their pets) were challenged to find something orange in their wardrobes to wear in support of our charity partner Once Upon a Smile, a children’s bereavement charity, in recognition of #WorldSmileDay.  It turns out Sidley, the charity’s favourite bear and mascot, loves anything orange. The team did their ‘zest’ to make others smile with their bright outfits, and #AspireScientific have donated £10 for every orange outfit worn, raising a total of £220 for Once Upon a Smile!  See if you can make someone smile today for World Smile Day! #CultureTalentExcellence #AspireWellbeing #MedComms #ActsofKindness #AspireCorporateResponsibility #AspireCharity    [Descriptive text for people who use screen readers: The image shows the white Aspire Scientific logo over a large orange circle.

What do baby turtles have to do with my return to work? In Bali my little kiddo had the opportunity to support a local conservation effort by releasing some baby turtles into the wild, which I'm spuriously linking to the next big careers event in #MedComms — the Postgraduate Virtual Careers Fair on Thursday 31st October, where we'll have hundreds of students ready to explore the oceans of opportunity in healthcare communications. We have a few great employers lined up, including Word Monster | Powered by Medical Writing, Aspire Scientific Ltd, Costello Medical and Avalere Health, with more to be confirmed soon.

To mark #NationalInclusionWeek (23–29 September), our team recently participated in a thought-provoking discussion around Inclusive Communication led by Baljit Singh from Inclusive Employers. We discussed how to enhance our inclusive language skills and how the environments we have been exposed to as individuals can, at times, influence our communication. The team also shared examples of how they have used inclusive language both in and out of work, and ways in which inclusive language is related to patient-centred writing in medical communications. #CultureTalentExcellence #NIW24 #PeopleFirstAspire #AspireScientific #MedComms #ProfessionalDevelopment #MedicalCommunications #EquityDiversityInclusion  [Descriptive text to aid accessibility: The image shows the white Aspire Scientific logo over a large orange circle.
