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
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an important threat to modern global health. Around 75% of health service antibiotics are prescribed in primary care and this prescribing has been shown to contribute to AMR. So it makes sense to develop stewardship interventions for patients and clinicians in primary care.
However, for every patient seen with an infection in primary care, there could be as many as 12 currently not seeking medical help.
Professor Hay will outline how current trends in care and commercial pressures could be encouraging higher consultation rates, and he will outline how the research community could contribute to stemming and reversing these trends
