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
The Data Access Request Service (DARS) team responsible for the University of Oxford, led by Jennifer Donald, will be holding a one hour seminar for key researchers using NHS Digital data next Wednesday, 6 December, at 2.00pm in BDI Seminar Room 0. The seminar will include some top tips for applications, some general news from DARS and Q & A. The team are keen to receive feedback to help improve the service. As you may be aware there has been a slight change to the structure of the NHS Data Access Request Service (DARS) and they are now working to a key accounts model. This means that small teams will now have sole responsibility for individual organisations and all their DARS applications and enquiries.
It would help if you registered for the seminar, at training@ndph.ox.ac.uk (at the very least, to ensure we have enough space) but you are also welcome just to come along on the day.
