Modernising legacy software and infrastructure is hard. Really hard. Nobody wants to be lumbered in a clunky inefficient system. But “slaying the monolith” is easier said than done. Just ask Anthony Nolan. Increasingly hampered by its existing technology, the stem cell transplant charity was struggling to iterate and facing increasingly high levels of friction. So what do you do? Build a totally new piece of technology? Or rewire the existing system? Turns out, it's a bit of both. In our latest episode, Softwire's Ben Below details how the organisation successfully embarked on a modernisation journey.
I episode #111 prater jeg med Danny Attias; Chief Digital & Information Officer på London Business School.

The Anfield Wrap's free podcast after Brighton 2 Liverpool 2 in the Premier League, putting the result into context and how it might effect Liverpool in any potential title race. Neil Atkinson hosts Clive Tydesley, Harriet Prior, Ian Ryan and Phil Blundell... Also in the show John Gibbons talks to Anna whose little boy Francis Oldham was diagnosed with leukaemia aged just three months and who needed a stem cell transplant to treat the blood cancer. With the support of the Anthony Nolan charity, an appeal was launched to find a donor for Francis, and we are delighted to say that since the interview and thanks to a huge campaign in the city and beyond that led to hundreds signing up to become a donor, a match has been found for Francis and all being well he will be eligible for a transplant in November However, at the request of Anthony Nolan and with Anna's permission we are still going to run the interview as it would be wonderful if we can keep finding matches and keep helping people who need it and create even more happy endings. In Anna's words: "We are so grateful for everyone who has joined the register in hopes of being Francis' match. We really hope everyone continues to join the register as there are thousands of people still looking for their match. Many of these will be babies just like Francis."

This episode continues our releases from our #BeMoreDigital conference back in March. With everything happening in the world currently and the ever-important Black Lives Matter movement, we’re revisiting a pertinent panel discussion centering around inclusion, diversity and equality in the charity sector. The charity sector needs to be doing more to be inclusive and diverse across all areas. We must hold ourselves accountable and start implementing real changes now so that we can achieve permanent difference. Movements such as #CharitySoWhite have been incredible eye-openers for the sector, but there is still a long way to go before we can call ourselves inclusive. Our panelists each offer a fresh perspective from the range of charities and experiences they represent. The conversation isn’t about why inclusion and diversity work, we already know they do. It is about how we as organisations and as individuals can ensure that change is made. For this conversation our panel host, Debbie Forster (CEO at Tech Talent Charter), is joined by Ursula Dolton (CTO at the British Heart Foundation), Danny Attias (Chief Information Officer at Anthony Nolan), Tiffany Hall (CIO at Cancer Research UK) and Monica Shafaq (Chief Executive at The Kaleidoscope Plus Group) to discuss where the sector is currently at and the actions that need to be taken by charities everywhere to achieve all aspects of diversity.

Andy & Tom sit down with Rob Fearns from Charlies Chance Foundation. About Charlie's Chance; "We at the ‘Charlies Chance Foundation' aim to support children and their families affected by cancer and who are facing financial hardship as a result of their child's illness, by assisting with fundraising, by providing a financial contribution towards receiving treatment abroad" https://m.facebook.com/CharliesChancefoundation/?locale2=en_GB https://www.instagram.com/charlieschancefoundation/ ABOUT CHARLIE Our son Charlie was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) on the 6th March 2009 when he was just 3 years old. He underwent chemotherapy for 3 years and in 23rd May 2012 he was given the all clear only for this awful disease to come back to haunt him. After extensive meetings and consultations with the Doctor's they decided the best thing for Charlie was to offer him a bone marrow transplant. Charlie began treatment which entailed months of chemotherapy, total body radiotherapy and endless lumber punctures to get him in the best possible shape to make the transplant a success. After months of searching for a bone marrow donor for Charlie we were delighted to hear Anthony Nolan had found a match for him in December of 2012. A selfless, 22 year old German Male came forward as a donor for Charlie and we just cant thank him enough. On the 25th January 2013 Charlie had the transplant, he was in isolation for 8 weeks and away from his little brother which was hard for him but it went extremely well and within 12 weeks he was home. It was a moment we will never forget, feeling that we finally had our little boy home but unfortunately just over 3 years post transplant we got the dreaded news that devastated the whole family. Charlie had relapsed for a second time, that was the hardest conversation we have ever had. We were absolutely devastated that Charlie had relapsed but this time it was in the central nervous system. So after letting it sink in the consultants came up with a interim plan. That plan was that Charlie would be fitted with a device in his brain called an Ommaya reservoir so that chemotherapy could be given direct into the brain fluid and control the leukaemia until they came up with a more permanent plan. Our consultant from Alderhey found a pioneering treatment called car T-cell therapy which uses your own immune system to fight the cancer. This new treatment was available in Great Ormond street hospital but unfortunately Charlie's case was put forward to a medical board but was rejected as he didn't meet a certain criteria. Our last hope was to now look further afield for this treatment and that's where we found Seattle children's hospital. Obviously going for treatment abroad comes at a cost and thats where we started our fundraising campaign. When we approached Seattle children's hospital about Charlie receiving the treatment they gave us a figure of $180,000!!!!!!! How on earth are we going to get that amount of money? With all of our incredible family, friends and amazing supporters we got the money in just 28 days. We had some really big cash donations but our local support was relentless, from dusk till dawn people were out in their droves getting us money we needed how ever they could, from t-shirt sales to bucket collections. We boarded that American Airlines plane on the 26th July 2016 and spent a very difficult 3 months watching our son go through so much but to then get Charlie home and have him in remission was literally a dream come true. We as a family will be eternally grateful for all the support we received but since we have gone through our fundraising campaign we have noticed that not everyone going through this process has the support that we have……so that where Charlie's Chance comes in. We had lived this life, Raised this money and had the support of many so now it is our turn to show our gratitude and to help others is our situation.

In this episode I chat to Andrew Rogerson AKA The Cycling Scouser about his epic charity fuelled bicycle ride from Shanghai to Liverpool in aid of the Anthony Nolan charity and specifically for a young lad called Charlie Fearns. We talk about the importance of social media, cycling uphill, bad Chinese food, being held at gun point and football hooligans of all things.
Charlie Fearns is a 10 year old boy from Liverpool who has relapsed for a third time with leukaemia. There is no other option left in the UK for Charlie. He needs to go to America to a clinic in Seattle to have a CAR-T transplant which will cost £100,000, to give him a chance of survival. Charlie Fearns' bravery has inspired the Cycling Scouser and Barrow for Marrow to raise £60,000 for Anthony Nolan. If would like to help Charlie out, please share his story and you can donate by clicking this link: https://www.gofundme.com/charlie-schance #CharliesChance
One of the popular questions on the program this past year is how those doing sequencing decide between the quality of Pacific Bioscience's long reads and the cheaper short read technology, such as that of Illumina or Thermo Fisher. Today’s guest provides the most clear and dramatic answer yet: use the PacBio system exclusively.
In this episode of the TES FE Podcast Sarah Simons talks to Katie Day of Anthony Nolan, a charity which works to save the lives of people with blood cancer.
