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
Health and social care has seen rapid acceleration in the uptake of digital technologies over the past year, in order to better meet patient and client needs in the pandemic. But what are the implications for values-based practice and evidence-based practice – the two feet on which sound decision-making in health and social care is based? We will be looking at how shared decision making between patients, clients, carers, clinicians, teams and organisations is affected by apps, telemedicine, decision-support systems; big data and artificial intelligence and by clinician-led digital projects. What do we need to do to ensure that personal values are central to the care of individual patients and clients as our use of digital technology moves forward?
