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
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. It is often thought of as something that happens only at older ages. But more and more, we see young adults in their 20s, 30s, 40s suffering from stroke. Why is this happening? Are strokes really becoming more common at younger ages, or are we just getting better at detecting them? More importantly, what can we do reduce the risk and improve prevention?
In this Oxford Biomedical Research Centre talk, Linxin Li, a Clinical Research Fellow in the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, will explore the recent increase in strokes at younger ages, discuss what might be driving it and assess if there is any easy solution in primary care.
FREE entry, no booking required.
Refreshments from 5.40, for a 6pm start.
