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
QResearch is a large consolidated database derived from the anonymised health records from general practices using the EMIS clinical computer system.
The practices are spread throughout the UK and include data from patients who are currently registered with the practices as well as patients who may have died or left.
Historical records extend back to the 1989 making it one of the largest and richest general practice databases in the world and essential resource for researchers on an international scale.
The GP data from England is linked to Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), Civil Registration Data, Cancer Registry Data, Second Generation Surveillance System (SGSS) COVID-19 data, and Intensive Care National Audit & Research Centre (ICNARC) data.
QResearch has been located at the University of Oxford since its founder Professor Julia Hippisley-Cox joined the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences in 2019.
QResearch is available for use by researchers at the University of Oxford.
On 5th October 2021, Julia Hippisley-Cox and Rebekah Burrow will run a workshop open to all members of the MSD.
You can find out more at www.qresearch.org.
If you’d like to take part in this workshop contact rebekah.burrow@phc.ox.ac.uk
A later workshop will be open to all member of the University.
