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.
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit social care very hard, with high infection and mortality rates in care homes and changed operational practices across the sector. This panel discussion seeks to take stock of the situation in social care, with a particular focus on learning and innovation. Our three speakers are differentially placed to comment and will draw from their experience to identify the main lessons and challenges.
Our panelists are Rosalind Pearce – Executive Director, Healthwatch, Oxfordshire, Penny Thewlis – Chief Executive, Age UK Oxfordshire and Rachel Pirie – Head of Older People Commissioning & Markets, Oxfordshire County Council. The session will be chaired by Professor Mary Daly, Governing Body Fellow, Green Templeton College and Professor of Sociology and Social Policy at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, University of Oxford.
