On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Epidemics and pandemics of novel pathogens are often characterized by a lack of known therapeutic or preventive interventions. It is therefore imperative to rapidly conduct research to study and develop countermeasures in these contexts. Yet, with research underway and no ‘proven’ therapeutic or preventive interventions, a question exists as to whether individuals, groups, or populations should be offered ‘unproven’ preventive and/or therapeutic interventions outside of clinical trials, including “off-label” interventions. This seminar will explore the use of ‘unproven’ clinical interventions during public health emergencies, coinciding with the recent publication of the World Health Organization’s guidance document, “Emergency use of unproven clinical interventions outside clinical trials: ethical considerations”.
