OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
When a child is diagnosed with a serious genetic condition caused by a new genetic change (de novo mutation), parents often worry about the chances of this happening again in future pregnancies. Currently, the general recurrence risk given in clinic is a population average (usually ~1-2%). However, there is now a new strategy, called PREGCARE, that can refine this risk for each individual couple. This presentation will explore how it works, its potential benefits and what it means from a practitioner’s perspective.
The talk will be followed by drinks and nibbles until 7pm.
