Speakers:
Keynote - Professor Sally Mapstone, Principal & Vice-Chancellor, University of St Andrews

Professor Sally Mapstone has been Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Andrews since September 2016. The core values of her Principalship are excellence, inclusiveness and fairness.

Before taking up the role, her academic career was spent at the University of Oxford, where she read English Language and Literature, gained her doctorate on Older Scots literature and became Professor of Older Scots Literature in the Faculty of English Language and Literature. Earlier in her career she worked as an editor in the book publishing industry. She is an Emeritus Fellow of St Hilda’s College, Oxford and an Honorary Fellow of Wadham College, Oxford and St Cross College, Oxford.

Professor Mapstone is a member of the board of Universities UK, a member of the Higher Education Policy Institute advisory board, and a member of the National Centre for Universities and Business Growing Value Scotland Legacy Project Advisory Group. She maintains a strong interest in issues of equality and access.

Nicola Dames, Founder, Vanilla Blush

Nicola Dames had her life change forever when she started to suffer with Ulcerative Colitis in her 20s. After surgery to remove her large colon, she found underwear available for women with stomas lacked femininity. So in 2008 she started Vanilla Blush to design, make and sell what women like her wanted.

Since then it’s grown to become a multiple award-winning brand specialising in selling swimwear and medical lingerie to people like her, directly and via the NHS, in the UK and 8 European countries.

In 2011, Vanilla Blush had its first range listed as a Class 1 Medical Device and in 2014 launched its pioneering innovation with Hernia Prevention and support available on NHS prescription.

In 2014, Vanilla Blush was named Post-Surgery Brand of the Year and in June 2016 secured £50,000 in Scottish EDGE funding. In December last year, Nicola was included in Lingerie Insight’s Power List 2018.
