OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Can We Talk? with Oxford United’s Will Vaulks will take place on Wednesday 21 January 2026 from 11am–1pm at the IDRM, Old Road Campus and via Teams. The event includes an 11am–12pm presentation and Q&A (in person and via Teams) followed by a 12–1pm informal lunch and coffee session for in-person attendees only. Join us for a conversation about mental health and suicide prevention, where Will Vaulks will share his personal connection to suicide loss and offer insights into coping in high-pressure environments. Baton of Hope, the UK’s largest suicide prevention initiative, will speak about their mission of hope and awareness, and Frances Parkes (Staff Wellbeing Programme Manager) will outline university wellbeing resources, including the Employee Assistance Programme and the support available for staff and students. Open to all University of Oxford staff and students; registration is required. In-person seating is limited and overflow space may be used. All attendees will receive a Teams link.
