OxTalks is Changing
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
Generating evidence for monitoring long term conditions
Longer life expectancy has also meant longer time spent ill with a chronic condition. To adequately manage a chronic condition requires the use of a monitoring strategy which helps determine if there has been any change. Conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease use different measures/biomarkers as part of this monitoring strategy, but in some cases, the measures show high levels of variability. Understanding how this variability impacts on clinical decision-making is crucial to determine which measures to use and how often to measure.
In this seminar, Rafael will present some examples of research carried out in this area over the last ten years. He is involved in many research programmes using a wide range of expertise to develop innovative methods of analysis and monitoring in primary and secondary research, including diabetes, oral anticoagulation therapy, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease.
A recording will be made available shortly after the event. Follow us on Twitter @georgeinstuk with #GeorgeSeminars to catch the release.
