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
Epilepsy is the most prevalent of the non-communicable diseases that have a neurological origin.
Although the burden of epilepsy is most significant in low and middle income countries, relatively few studies investigate the impact of this neurological condition on the quality of life of people with epilepsy in those countries.
In this talk, Nwabisa Mlandu, Visiting Fellow on the Oxford Martin Programme on Global Epilepsy, will explore and evaluate current knowledge on the predictors (sociodemographic, clinical, psychiatric, psychosocial) of quality of life in adults with epilepsy, particularly in South Africa.
It is crucial that clinicians and researchers are aware of how the influence of these predictors might differ from one geographic region to another – such awareness will allow the design or adjustment of interventions to optimise them for use in different countries.
This is a joint event with the Oxford Martin Programme on Global Epilepsy.
This talk will be followed by a drinks reception.
