We were absolutely delighted to host Peter Thompson, CEO of the Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority (HFEA), Department of Health and Social Care, for an incredible guest speaker session!
Peter joined us to speak with our Year 12 students and Year 10 Science students, sharing invaluable insights from his varied and prestigious career in public policy and regulation.
✨ Career Highlights Shared:
👍 The HFEA: Leading the UK regulator of fertility services (like IVF) and human embryo research, navigating some of today’s most complex public policy areas.
👍 Civil Service Impact: Working across the Ministry of Justice and the Cabinet Office on constitutional reform and EU justice.
👍 Landmark Legislation: Guiding the Gender Recognition Act 2005 through Parliament—a historic piece of social reform.
👍 Higher Education: Serving as a member of the Council of Queen Mary University of London.
A massive thank you to Peter for taking the time to inspire our students and offer a peek behind the curtain of high-level civil service and scientific regulation.
🙌 Our sincere thanks also go to the Futures for All Programme for making this fantastic career talk possible!
