Status: This talk has been cancelled

Kennedy Lecture Theatre, John Henry Brookes Building, Oxford Brookes University

Due to current concerns regarding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, we have taken the decision to postpone this event to the autumn. The rescheduled event will be advertised later in the year at oxfordbrc.nihr.ac.uk/brc-events and oxfordbrc.eventbrite.com.

Prof Heneghan will be looking at how to weigh up the evidence when assessing the credibility of news headlines about health; that is, what advice should you act on and what should you ignore?
