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
1 in 7 births are affected by gestational diabetes (the experience of diabetes during pregnancy). Of these, the vast majority of cases experiencing diabetes-related hyperglycaemia (an excess of glucose in the blood) are in low- and middle-income countries where access to maternal care is often restricted.
So what is all the fuss about? In this seminar, Senior Research Fellow Dr Jane Hirst will focus on the global burden of gestational diabetes and associated challenges in its management during pregnancy and after birth. Jane will also share exciting approaches to addressing this burden, including the novel adoption of digital monitoring and machine learning in work by Jane and colleagues at The George Institute for Global Health, UK.
A recording will be made available shortly after the event. Follow us on Twitter @georgeinstuk with #GeorgeSeminars to catch the release, and subscribe to our YouTube channel here.
