OxTalks is Changing
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
Innovation and Change in Social Care: Learning from the Pandemic
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.
