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
Online only.
Linking national data from routinely collected health and education records allows us to build a more detailed picture of the challenges that many children face as they grow up. ECHILD is a unique research database that joins together these data to better understand the complex inter-relationships between children’s health and education. In this talk, Prof Katie Harron will discuss the challenges and potential for linking administrative data to help government and providers of services to better understand children’s needs, to join up services, and to quantify unmet need. Dr Ruth Blackburn will present her work using ECHILD to understand mental health presentations in secondary school children and show preliminary results examining acute hospital admissions with mental health and related presentations for children and young people in England. Dr Matt Jay will discuss emerging findings on the association between chronic health conditions identified in inpatient data and secondary school absence.
