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
Health economic models are crucial for setting healthcare priorities and assessing the financial value of interventions, especially given the limitations of randomised clinical trials (RCTs). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading global cause of death, but prevention efforts often start too late. Long-term prevention studies are expensive and challenging, making epidemiological modelling, such as Mendelian Randomisation, essential. The health economic model for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (HEM-PPCVD) model will appropriately capture all costs and value health outcomes of existing and new health interventions and this approach will identify at-risk individuals early when we take into consideration the cumulative impact of modifiable risk factors, ultimately saving lives and improving access to preventive measures.
