Old Girl Alisha Whitehead (Class of 2011) was the guest speaker at the second annual Hulton Lecture, held in the Girls’ Division Great Hall.
Since leaving school Alisha has completed a BSc in Psychology at Sheffield Hallam University and an MSc in Clinical Neurology at the University of Sheffield. Now, Alisha manages the brain research centre in Manchester, which aims to improve the lives of patients living with neurological conditions, including brain tumours, strokes and Parkinson’s disease through research.
She shared her fascinating career in a way that was really accessible to the young audience of Primary Division pupils and visiting primary school pupils, and even included a simulated ‘double blind clinical trial’ to show everyone how these work in the real world.
