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
Can asthma inhalers prevent COVID-19 hospitalisations? The STOIC Study
Mona Bafadhel is Associate Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of Oxford and a Consultant Respiratory Physician. Her research focuses on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a set of conditions that cause the airways to become inflamed and make it harder for patients to breathe. In this talk, Mona will discuss her work on COPD and her recent research on the use of inhaled corticosteroids (usually used for asthma and COPD) to reduce the chances of severe respiratory illness in COVID-19 patients.
To submit a question please use the YouTube live chat or email OBRCenquiries@ouh.nhs.uk to send a question in advance.
