Mandy Hickson, First Women Fighter Pilot Talk Event

Event details

This talk is part of a series of events hosted by Wessex Institute. Mandy Hickson is a former Royal Air Force fast jet pilot. As one of the first female pilots on her frontline Tornado GR4 squadron, flying multi-million pound fast jets for the Royal Air Force, she worked in a constantly challenging, yet exhilarating environment. She offers a unique insight into this elite world, supported by anecdotes about her time on the front line. Throughout, she demonstrates only too well the importance of remaining calm under pressure and leading, quite literally, from the front, in order to get the best from herself and her team. Mandy brings a wealth of insights from her years serving on the operational front line, where a keen sense of humour has been the key to her success and survival. The Wessex Institute provides high-quality, practice-based research to support decision makers in health and healthcare. They have particular expertise in added-value health research management and in health technology assessment. This event is open to all, and no booking is necessary.
