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
Ten years to eliminate Hepatitis B: can it be done?
Oxford BRC free public talk
Hepatitis B is estimated to infect close to 300 million people globally, and a third of the world’s population has been exposed to the virus. International sustainable development goals have set ambitious targets for the elimination of viral hepatitis as a public health threat by the year 2030. With a safe, effective vaccine and widely available antiviral drugs that can suppress the infection, is this within reach? Using data from Africa, Dr Philippa Matthews will explore the impact of HBV infection and its current treatments, and suggest the next steps to help us move towards its elimination.
Tickets are available online at oxfordbrc.eventbrite.com, however advance booking is not required. Refreshments at 5.45pm for a 6.00pm start. For more information, please contact OBRCenquiries@ouh.nhs.uk or call 01865 743341.
