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
Dr Ana Llena-Nozal is a senior economist with the OECD. She leads the Organization’s long-term care work, coordinating research and policy on such topics as dementia care, the future of the long-term care workforce, social protection and funding in long-term care, the impact of COVID-19 in long-term care services, policies to promote healthy ageing and end-of-life care. The COVID-19 crisis has hit the long-term care (LTC) sector particularly hard. This presentation analyses the effects of COVID-19 on LTC in OECD countries. It takes stock of the wide range of policy responses that countries have implemented, detailing the changes over time on testing strategies, reduction of interactions and isolation measures, digitalisation of services, and workforce. The presentation also assesses emergency preparedness in the sector, as well as the effectiveness of workforce and vaccination strategies. Finally, the presentation shows how policy responses affected care continuity and the well-being of residents while also outlining the organisational and coordination challenges.
