Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform.

From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
In this webinar our speakers will discuss access to healthcare with a focus on therapies for rare diseases. We will address the main justice questions that arise regarding access to therapies for rare diseases, exploring the tensions between cost-effectiveness and fairness considerations. We will share examples and tackle how these tensions play out in countries in the Global North and in the Global South.
