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 policy vision of remote consultations is of an efficient, safe and accessible remote service delivered through state-of-the art digital technologies and implemented via rational allocation criteria. The reality is less glamorous. Research reveals that in the real world, remote services involve multiple contradictions and tensions—for example, between quality and efficiency, or between infection control and patient choice—leading to ethical dilemmas for managers, support staff and clinicians. These dilemmas cannot be resolved by rigid standard operating procedures or algorithms: they require contextual judgement.
