OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Empathy: harmful or helpful? Half day workshop with Dan Zahavi and Jeremy Howick
Recent evidence from randomised trials suggests that when healthcare practitioners empathize with their patients, it leads to an improvement of patient outcome. However, recent critics have also argued that empathy is harmful. In this workshop you will gain a richer understanding of what empathy is, you will get to know about the evidence for the health benefits of empathic care, and get a chance to discuss whether or not it is helpful or harmful.
