On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Oxygen starvation during labour at term causes each year, in the UK alone, over 1200 healthy babies to sustain brain injury. High-risk labours are monitored continuously with the cardiotocogram (CTG), which displays the womb’s contractions and the baby’s heart rate. Reliable and actionable continuous fetal monitoring has the potential to halve this number. At Oxford, we store and analyse all routinely performed CTGs, linked to detailed clinical data for both mother and baby, since 1993. Dr Georgieva will discuss her team’s progress towards developing a bed-side decision support tool, based on the data, designed to substantially improve fetal health’s assessment during labour.
