As a silver member of the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme, Vigo IT Solutions Ltd were invited to attend a breakfast meeting, in conjunction with the NHS, introducing their "Check Below Deck" initiative. This very aptly named event was organized to highlight prostrate and bowel cancer, how to regonise the signs and what happens next.
The event was held at Weston Approaches Museum in Liverpool. It was interesting to see the original top secret (not anymore! 😉 ) underground war bunker, an amazing space for this event. We'd like to thank Dean Paton of Weston Approaches Command for his hospitality.
The presentation was introduced by Simon Bunting of Cancer Alliance and included experts in their field, Dr Rick Walshaw, Oncologist and Mr. Mike Chadwick, Clinical Director at Whiston Hospital. The presentation was cleverly done with armed forces references, but the seriousness of the subject was never lost.
We apologize if we have missed some of the speakers who gave additional information, we were so interested in what was being said, we stopped taking notes! 😍
Many thanks to Jan Cox QVRM DL for the invite. We were inspired by the dedication and enthusiasm to get men (and woman) to CHECK BELOW DECK.
