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
30 years of research has highlighted the crucial role of oestrogen in the disease profile of women with psychotic disorders. However, we have not translated this knowledge into tailored treatment strategies. I will present the work conducted during my PhD, which focused on understanding the impact of sex and sex hormones, particularly oestrogen, on the disease trajectory and treatment of psychotic disorders. In the first part, I will explore the interplay between sex, oestrogen, and current treatment strategies for psychosis, emphasising the links between hyperprolactinaemia and clinical outcomes, as well as the influence of sex on the effectiveness and tolerability of antipsychotics. In the second part, I will discuss how we might harness the beneficial effects of oestrogen to optimise treatment strategies, drawing on evidence from clinical trials and birth cohort studies. Lastly, I will provide a brief overview of our current efforts to better understand the impact of sex and sex hormones on the disease course of schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, with the aim of advancing care.
