This year’s HLA Dinner was held at the prestigious Athenaeum, hosted by Eleanor Morris. The evening brought together scholars, alumni, and supporters for an inspiring celebration of the HLA community. Cohort Director Andrea Johnson, a dental technician, shared her powerful perspective on how the HLA supports not only medical professionals but also those from across the wider healthcare community. Professor Neena Modi delivered a thought-provoking address on how the HLA can harness its collective strength to influence change and drive societal progress. The evening concluded with reflections from Johann Malawana, who emphasised the importance of continued networking and collaboration to sustain the HLA’s mission.
