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
Informing policy with relevant evidence is critically important for the establishment of effective and efficient health and related services and to foster large-scale, sustainable changes in practice. Many barriers to this exist, however. These include different drivers, incentives, resources, and timescales for the conduct of research and the production of policy. Tension between researchers and policy makers can result. This seminar will examine approaches to pro-actively meeting the needs of policymakers for high quality, relevant, accessible, and timely evidence. Drawing on over 35 years of research in maternal and newborn health and care, national and global examples of generating and translating evidence into policy and practice will be discussed, and key factors for success will be identified.
