Alice Hardy

Communications & Impact Manager
I lead communications for the Institute of Healthcare Engineering. My role involves sharing our leading research with the wider world - crafting press releases, publishing news articles, managing social media and creating engaging digital content. My objective is to ensure that the IHE is the one-stop-shop for healthcare engineering at UCL, and to grow our profile further afield.
I also manage the IHE Impact Impact Fellowship, a training programme which helps UCL researchers make impact and engage with people beyond university walls.
Ferdouse Akhter

Marketing & Community Manager
I support the IHE with communications and marketing. That includes the usual things like email, social media and events but my role also involves finding new ways to engage with the communities we have at UCL and in London to expand the impact of the IHE. And that's why this job is so interesting - ideas I have come to fruition and that's always so fulfilling to see.
Prior to the IHE, I worked at Students' Union UCL doing digital marketing - which comes in handy when trying to cultivate relationships with different student groups at UCL.
