OxTalks is Changing
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.
Public Lecture: Conditions for Corrosion - What does listening to patients have to do with good medicine?
Medical training today has been deeply reshaped by algorithmic diagnostic logics and the emplacement of healthcare in quasi-industrial “care systems”. This evolution of medical knowledge and practice has reshaped how doctors listen to their patients. What deformations might we expect to arise in a context in which medical education is placing premium on medical tests as yielding diagnostic certainty? And how are medical professionals today to weigh the role of the patient’s account of their ailments in relation to the data provided by diagnostic tests and equipment? The dynamics of listening to patients in a diagnostic context will be the focus of my paper, which I approach with a special interest in addressing the markedly lower healthcare outcomes of the intellectually disabled in contemporary healthcare systems.
