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
Plasma from patients who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection (convalescent plasma) contains antibodies that can bind to and neutralise the virus. Infusion of convalescent plasma containing high concentrations of neutralising antibody may theoretically accelerate clearance of the virus and clinical improvement. Although convalescent plasma has been widely used in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19, data from randomised controlled trials in this patient group have, until recently, been limited. This webinar provides evidence from randomised controlled trials of the safety and efficacy of convalescent plasma in patients hospitalised for COVID-19. Join an extraordinary panel of leading international experts, including Professor Peter Horby talking about the RECOVERY Trial, to hear the latest research and have the opportunity to ask questions.
