Sometimes you go to a night out in a venue you&#8217;ve never been to and you&#8217;re trying to find your friends either on or off the dance floor. Eventually you get yourself a drink at the bar, find a table to put your bag on, and stand there waiting for the next song to come along so you can join the fun.<\/p>\n<p>I spent most of the week in very information dense check-ins with a few teams. Digital Screening Services has 13 teams working as part of 7 programmes of work. They are all differently shaped, have different goals and are at different moments in their disco to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:7455898407023390720\/\">maintenance<\/a> journey. I didn&#8217;t say much, took a lot of notes, wrote down a lot of new acronyms.<\/p>\n<p>Every team has the same high level questions to answer but the way they answer them is unique to their circumstances. Those high level questions feel like they might be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Who should we <strong>select<\/strong> for preventative screening?<\/li>\n<li>How might we <strong>invite <\/strong>them successfully enough that they attend an appointment?<\/li>\n<li>How do we <strong>communicate<\/strong> <strong>results<\/strong> or next steps effectively?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But it&#8217;s early days. I might change my mind about that.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed sharing some early impressions with my immediate peers <a href=\"https:\/\/abscond.org\/\">James<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/danielbower.com\/\">Dan<\/a> and my bosses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sarah-fisher-6149b1242\/\">Sarah<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lauren-latham-09055492\/\">Lauren<\/a> made time to welcome me in between meetings. I gave <a href=\"https:\/\/gilest.org\/\">Giles<\/a> a hug as I bumped into him near the lifts, I virtually waved at former TPXimpact colleagues who are dotted around the place, had lunch with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankieroberto.com\/\">Frankie<\/a>, spotted some folks I&#8217;ve never spoken to IRL but definitely follow on the internet and had a too quick catchup with <a href=\"https:\/\/jjknowles.co.uk\/\">Joe<\/a> who I will be spending a lot of time with.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what this week felt like. I haven&#8217;t got a table yet, but I&#8217;m ordering a drink.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3512\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3512\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designswarm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5423-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3512 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designswarm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5423-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designswarm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5423-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.designswarm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5423-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.designswarm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5423-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.designswarm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5423-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.designswarm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5423-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.designswarm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5423-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sticker <a href=\"https:\/\/ralphhawkins.co.uk\/\">Ralph Hawkins<\/a> designed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent a lot of time on dance floors when I was in my 20s and I have been jiving on and off since 2014.
