Together Behind Abi: The LHSG Community Supporting a Powerful Cause
Abi, one of our much‑loved committee members who has given over 20 years of dedication, has recently been diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. In true Abi fashion, she’s channelling her strength and positivity into action by raising money for MPN Voice, a charity that provides vital support for patients and funds crucial research.
To do this, she’s taking on an incredible challenge: a 100km walk over 3 days in Ypres, Belgium. Walking that distance on three consecutive days would test anyone — but if anyone can take it on with determination and a smile, it’s Abi.
She would be grateful for any support, whether that’s a donation or simply a few words of encouragement to help spur her on. Let’s rally behind her and show her just how much we’re cheering her forward.

Following the formal AGM business, the May session will continue with Ryan Brittain (Cardinus Risk Management ), who will explore how ergonomics is evolving through the use of AI. Drawing on over 30 years’ experience in global office ergonomics and working across different regulatory landscapes, Ryan will share practical insight into emerging approaches to MSK risk assessment. The session will look at how AI-supported assessments can increase consistency, significantly reduce assessment time, and improve visibility of risk through video-based analysis—prompting a wider discussion on what “good” ergonomic risk management might look like in a more digital, data-informed future.
