Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Join us for a panel discussion with experts from across healthcare and policy landscapes to explore how ethnicity is currently approached in genomic medicine and how it might be reimagined for the future.
Within NHS England’s Genomic Medicine Service, patient identity information is currently documented using ‘ethnicity’ categories, which largely reflect geopolitical classifications. These categories often do not capture the sociocultural, historical, and biological dimensions of one’s identity that may be relevant to medical investigations.
The panel will reflect and respond to a set of co-created, forward-looking questions developed during a participatory workshop held earlier in the day with patient support groups and representatives.
This is an in-person event, please only sign up if you can attend the event at St Anne’s College. The panel discussion will be followed by a drinks reception until 18:30.
If you are interested in taking part in the workshop, as a patient and/or representative of a patient support organisation, please contact cpm@well.ox.ac.uk for more information.
