SUMMARY:Online joint virtual public talk:  How will using blood tests to detect cancer change the NHS?
DESCRIPTION:There is growing interest in the possibility of using blood-tests to detect cancer . If and when such tests become available\, they could transform how we diagnose and look after people with cancer . This offers exciting possibilities\, but also many potential pitfalls.  Blood tests could be used to screen apparently healthy people for cancer \, to decide who should have more tests \, or even replace scanning as a means of monitoring the effects of treatment or whether cancer has come back. \n\nIn this talk\, Professor Mark Middleton\, Director of the Cancer Research UK Oxford Centre will explain how we are developing these tests and assessing their use in clinical trials. \nSue Duncombe\, a member of the Oxford Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Group\, will also talk about this development in early cancer detection from a patient perspective. \nJoin us on zoom:  https://zoom.us/j/98529059514

SUMMARY:Virtual Public Talk: Surgery or stents – which is more effective in preventing stroke?
DESCRIPTION:Stroke is the second largest cause of death worldwide\, responsible for over six million deaths each year. A common cause of stroke is carotid artery disease\, which can be treated in one of two ways: carotid artery surgery; or having a stent fitted\, with a view to improving blood flow to the brain.  Until recently\, it has been unclear which of these procedures results in better overall patient outcomes. \nTo answer this question\, researchers at Oxford Population Health at the University of Oxford have coordinated the Asymptomatic Carotid Surgery Trial 2 (ACST-2)\, the largest trial to date comparing the outcomes of the 2 procedures. \nIn this talk\, research fellow and consultant vascular surgeon Richard Bulbulia will discuss the findings of the ACST-2 trial and whether patient factors favour one approach over another when treating those at risk of a stroke. \nJoin us on zoom: https://zoom.us/j/99450712016?pwd=QlIxaEhSNWZkT1VQTUJpTUltRmV4UT09

SUMMARY:Investigating the links between anxiety and irritable bowel syndrome
DESCRIPTION:Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is not well understood\, Although it is not a genetic disease\, people are believed to differ in their genetic susceptibility to developing IBS\, which affects the digestive system. It is known that people with IBS are more likely to suffer from a range of mental health problems\, including anxiety and depression. \nIn this talk Luke Jostins-Dean\, associate professor and Sir Henry Dale fellow at the University of Oxford’s Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology\, will describe how common IBS is in the population and discuss the wide range of mental health problems that IBS patients suffer from. \nLuke’s team surveyed more than 170\,000 UK Biobank volunteers about their digestive health to better understand IBS risk factors\, and the severity of people’s symptoms. Participants were also asked questions about anxiety and depression. This information was then combined with other information\, including hospital medical records. \nFor further information\, please email Sarah.Marr@ouh.nhs.uk \nLink to join the talk (You Tube): https://youtu.be/7DRjNjCef_M

SUMMARY:Writing for the Public Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A workshop organised by the Working Together Partnership for health and care staff and the public. \nWriting so that everyone understands what you want to communicate is a real skill. This is particularly true if you need to communicate complex ideas about health care or research\, for example in patient information leaflets or factsheets. \nWriting for the public needs to take into account the diversity of our populations\, mastering both technical subject matter and the art of producing easy to read texts. The virtual workshop will include discussion\, presentations\, small group exercises and top tips. \nThis event is free\, but you need to register before attending. For more details and to register\, please follow this link. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Tackling COVID-19 together: Building a multi-disciplinary approach to help vaccinate the world
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has generated an intense research effort\, which by one estimate has generated more than half a million research publications to date. Much of the COVID-19 research undertaken has been within traditional academic disciplines\, but tackling COVID-19 effectively\, and dealing with its long-term health and economic impacts\, will require a multi-disciplinary research effort. \nThe purpose of this symposium is to provide a multi-disciplinary forum focusing on effective ways to promote vaccine uptake and to ensure public support for the effort and resources required to vaccinate the world. The symposium will bring together perspectives of immunologists\, epidemiologists\, psychologists\, economists and political scientists on these questions. They will present the latest evidence and discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead. \nSee here for more details. \nThe symposium is free\, but you will need to register by following this link. \nSpeakers include: \nProf Sir Andrew Pollard (Director of the Oxford Vaccine Group\, University of Oxford) \nProf Mark Jit (Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology\, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) \nA/Prof Mara Violato (Health Economics Research Centre\, Nuffield Department of Population Health\, University of Oxford) \nProf Daniel Freeman (Department of Psychiatry\, University of Oxford) \nProf Ray Duch (Director of Centre for Experimental Social Sciences\, Nuffield College\, University of Oxford) \nProf Mitesh Patel (Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine\, University of Pennsylvania\, USA) \nMs Susan Brown (Public Policy Engagement at GAVI\, the Vaccine Alliance) \nDr Laurence Roope (Health Economics Research Centre\, Nuffield Department of Population Health\, University of Oxford) \nProf Helen McShane (Director\, NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre) \nProf Philip Clarke (Director\, Health Economics Research Centre\, Nuffield Department of Population Health\, University of Oxford) \nProf Michael Parker (Director of ETHOX\, University of Oxford) \nProf Sir Peter Horby (Epidemic diseases Research Group\, University of Oxford). \n

SUMMARY:BCG Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:On 18 July 1921\, at the Hôpital de la Charité in Paris\, a newborn infant received a dose of an experimental vaccine called Bacille Calmette-Guérin. This young child would be the first human to receive the BCG vaccine\, which\, over the coming 100 years\, would save millions of lives that would have been lost to one of history’s greatest killers – tuberculosis. In 2021\, VALIDATE is celebrating the 100th anniversary of BCG in our BCG100 Programme. \nIn BCG Then and Now\, Prof Paul Fine & Prof Helen McShane will take us on a journey from the initial development of the vaccine to the modern-day challenges in the fight against TB and the future challenges researchers face in replacing the enduring BCG vaccine. This online talk is a public lecture open to all and will include a Q&A. \nBook now. \n  \nTime and Date: 18:00 (GMT)\, 24 March 2021 \nLocation: Online \nThe Speakers: \nProf Helen McShane is the VALIDATE Network Director; Director of the Oxford NIHR Biomedical Research Centre; Professor of Vaccinology at Oxford University; Deputy Head (Translation and Personnel)\, Medical Sciences Division; and an Honorary Consultant Physician in infectious diseases. Since 2001\, Helen has led a TB vaccine research group at the University of Oxford’s Jenner Institute. She collaborates with several research groups across Africa in TB vaccine clinical trials. \nProf Paul Fine is Professor of Communicable Disease Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Paul trained originally in zoology\, veterinary medicine\, parasitology and epidemiology\, and joined the staff of LSHTM in 1976. Since 1997 he has worked on a wide variety of vaccine issues\, including the evaluation of non-specific effects of vaccines\, methods for field evaluation of veterinary vaccines\, the implications of the transmissibility of oral polio vaccine viruses for the polio eradication initiative\, and methods for optimising vaccination schedules.

SUMMARY:Pelvic pain: diagnosing endometriosis sooner
DESCRIPTION:Pelvic pain and fertility problems can be symptoms of many issues. Endometriosis is a common condition that can take 8 to 12 years for proper diagnosis – tissue similar to the womb’s lining grows in the ovaries and fallopian tubes – and few tests exist to distinguish it from other potential causes. University of Oxford Professor\, Christian Becker\, explains how researchers are analysing blood\, saliva\, urine and tissue samples to better understand the condition and develop more effective tests. \nThis event is part of the Health Research and You series of talks from the National Institute for Health Research at IF Oxford 2020. \nIF Oxford uses Pay What You Decide ticketing so you can choose to pay whatever you want\, or can afford.
