SUMMARY:Building Social Care Research into Practice
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to announce a series of interactive workshops aimed at operational and strategic leadership in social care (both adult and children) in partnership with colleagues at ADASS. Practitioner-led research in social care is a priority for the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR)\, which offers a range of development opportunities to help practitioners build their skills and knowledge. However\, as many of us know\, social care practitioners apply for these opportunities less frequently than health practitioners.\n\n\nThis series of interactive workshops are aimed at operational and strategic leadership in social care across statutory\, voluntary and independent sector providers. It will draw on perspectives from across the sector to explore the organisational benefits of developing a research-minded and capable workforce\, provide guidance and information about the funding and support available from the NIHR Academy and the Research Support Service\, and explore effective strategies for and barriers to involvement across regions. Building this understanding will help to develop recommendations for the NIHR on how to promote involvement and address barriers. \nEvent timings \n10am-10.30am: Arrival & refreshments \n10.30am-11.30am: Exploring the organisational benefits of practitioner research \n11.30am-12.30pm: Local learning: effective strategies and persistent challenges for practitioner research in social care \n12.30pm-1.30pm: Lunch and networking \n1.30pm-3.30pm(optional): One to one consultations with the practitioner research specialists in the RSS Specialist Centre for Social Care \nReserve a spot on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Public speaking and presenting
DESCRIPTION:It is not unusual to have a fear of public speaking\, ‘glossophobia’\, but we don’t need to become a whole new person to excel at presenting. Instead\, we can change our approach so that we harness our strengths\, dial up our own authentic energy\, craft an engaging message – and deliver it with tailored stories and varied interaction on the day. \nWhether inspiring your department to work in a new way\, delivering a tough message to your wider team\, or running a Zoom session as part of a virtual conference\, at the heart of all these tasks is the need to successfully engage our audiences. Presenting and public speaking is an art that anyone can learn and master – from introverts\, to planners\, to those that thrive in the moment. \nDuring this workshop participants will: \n\n\nreflect on the personal strengths they can bring to presenting and public speaking \n\n\npractice ‘dialling up’ their authentic energy so as to increase their presence \n\n\ncraft the start of an upcoming message they have to deliver\, including relevant stories to engage audiences’ hearts as well as minds \n\n\nplan how to build in relevant interaction to make their delivery as engaging as possible \n\n\nlearn different strategies for dealing with whatever questions are thrown at them

SUMMARY:Workshop: Imposter phenomenon
DESCRIPTION:Recent research shows that 80% of professionals will experience ‘imposter phenomenon’\, often referred to as ‘imposter syndrome’\, at some point in their careers. Whilst it is prevalent\, this doesn’t stop it from being debilitating and disempowering as it can be associated with decreased job performance or burnout (Bravata et al 2020). \nThis workshop explores practical tips for managing imposter phenomenon\, from both an individual and systemic lens. \nIn this 3-hour virtual workshop you will: \n\nappreciate the often systemic nature of imposter phenomenon by understanding what in the system or culture is (possibly inadvertently) causing you to feel like an imposter. Which elements of this can you choose to minimise\, challenge or reframe?\nclarify your typical trigger situations\, trying out practical tools to help you challenge your negative self-talk and bring your strengths to bear in these situations\nengage in peer coaching with other delegates using solution-focused questions\, giving you the opportunity to form supportive networks and cultivate a new mindset around imposter phenomenon

SUMMARY:Regulatory Inspection Ready
DESCRIPTION:This course is aimed at those who deliver research in a healthcare setting either in a Sponsor team or as a Host\, and that maybe subject to regulatory inspection. Preparation for Inspection is critical but compliance driven from preparation rather than from quality systems can lead to poor practice and Inspection findings. \nLast minute changes just prior to a visit can be very unhelpful and in some cases misleading and so this course will help delegates understand how to become inspection-ready for any inspection. Delegates will learn strategies that build confidence for an inspection from any of the regulators for example the MHRA\, Human Tissue Authority or Human Embryology & Fertilisation Authority. \nUpon successful completion of the course\, participants should be able to: \n\nExplain the types of inspections\, their purpose and jurisdiction that an active research organisation may experience\nDevelop an action plan to prepare for Inspection\nDevelop a strategy to assure compliance to legislation\nHave some knowledge of previous inspection findings\n\nGain an understanding of corrective actions and preventative actions \nMore information and registration.

SUMMARY:Who Are the Experts?
DESCRIPTION:Who Are the Experts? The Changing Landscape of Mental Health in the UK\n\n\n\nA panel discussion on the future of expertise in mental health research and policy. This event is part of the ANTITHESES platform\, funded by Wellcome. \nThe panel discussion will be chaired by Professor Ilina Singh. \nPanel Speakers \nWe’re delighted to welcome: \n\nDr David Crepaz-Keay\nProfessor Sir Simon Wessely\nAn additional speaker to be announced\n\nSpecial guests: The NeurOx YPAG \nAbout the event \nTransformations in the concept and sources of mental health ‘expertise’ are impacting how we think about diagnosis\, identity\, need and treatment. At the same time\, the UK is experiencing an unparalleled surge in people seeking mental health support\, with lengthy waitlists and significant inequalities in access to services. \nOur public event asks: What kinds of expertise should we trust to identify\, support and treat mental health needs? Speakers will address some difficult challenges: Is traditional medical expertise still relevant in an age of self-diagnosis through social media? How should other forms of expertise\, e.g. AI chatbots and lived experience\, figure in how we design future mental health support and policy? Will a more liberal perspective on ‘expertise’ help tackle the problem of inequalities in mental health access and support? How should we handle disagreements among such experts? \nPanel Discussion \nA panel of speakers representing different perspectives will discuss: “What role does ‘mental health expertise’ play in the future of psychiatry\, mental health science and policy?” \nThe floor will first be opened to questions and responses from the NeurOx Young People’s Advisory Group (NeurOx YPAG)\, which will then be followed by an audience Q&A. \nDoors open at 17:30 and the event will begin promptly at 18:00. Please arrive with good time to find your seat.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Beyond the bump - How managing blood pressure around pregnancy shapes your future health
DESCRIPTION:The NIHR BRC: Oxford is holding a free online public talk on Tuesday 21 July at 2pm \nMany women experience high blood pressure during pregnancy\, and it is increasingly recognised as an early warning sign for health problems later in life. Conditions such as gestational hypertension and preeclampsia are known to increase a woman’s longer-term risk of stroke\, heart disease and dementia. Yet most women receive little follow-up once their baby is born. \nRecent studies by University of Oxford researchers have shown that\, by monitoring and carefully managing their blood pressure after giving birth\, new mothers could cut their risk of future heart disease and strokes – and protect their long‑term brain health. \nThe studies\, supported by the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Oxford\, have led to the creation of a postpartum cardiac risk clinic in the Oxford Heart Centre. \nThis talk will explore how pregnancy is a window into future health\, giving an opportunity to improve long-term care and help prevent future cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline in women. The speakers will also show how understanding why some women develop long-term complications while others recover fully could lead to more personalised treatment. \nSign up here: Webinar: Beyond the bump – How managing blood pressure around pregnancy shapes your future health. \nSpeakers \nDr Jamie Kitt is a Consultant Cardiologist in London and Oxford. He is conducting post-doctoral research into hypertensive pregnancy at the University of Oxford’s Radcliffe Department of Medicine. \nDr Winok Lapidaire is a Principal Investigator in Cardiovascular Medicine at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine. Her research focuses on the effect of high blood pressure on the brain\, especially during and after pregnancy. \n \n

SUMMARY:Socio-Economic Disadvantage Inclusion in Health Research
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to invite you to an informative session (online) on practical tools for socio-economic disadvantage inclusion in health research. This event is a fantastic opportunity to enhance your approach to including people and communities from diverse ethnicities in your research. \nSpeaker \nDr Heidi Green is a Health Equity and Patient Involvement Specialist and a Creative Qualitative Researcher who co-developed the NIHR INCLUDE Socio-economic disadvantage framework\, which has been designed to aid researchers\, who are designing clinical trials\, to consider barriers to including patients from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds in their trial. \nThere will be lots of opportunities for you to ask questions from experienced and knowledgeable speakers to support your research. \nCASE STUDIES: \nCase Study 1: Reducing Health Inequalities Through Co-Designed\, Integrated Care Presented by Victoria Stalker\, Project Manager\, and Dr Nimra Khan\, Post-doctoral Researcher\, the ⁠Co-PICS study aims to improve care for people from diverse backgrounds living with psychosis and long-term physical health conditions. The project seeks to reduce health inequalities by first exploring individuals’ lived experiences and then co-designing clinical tools and training resources informed by those insights\, supporting more integrated and inclusive care across services. \n⁠Case Study 2: Embedding Inclusive Research Practices in Brain Health Studies Dr Sana Suri\, Associate Professor at the University of Oxford\, Department of Psychiatry will share how insights from having previously attended Heidi’s session have influenced the design of the ⁠SABHEE study (Stories About Brain Health and Ethnicity)\, a qualitative project exploring brain health in British South Asian adults. Drawing on the NIHR INCLUDE framework\, the study reflects an ongoing shift towards more inclusive and culturally responsive research practices. \nThese sessions are for: \nResearch staff affiliated with the following Biomedical Research Centres: Barts\, Birmingham\, Cambridge\, Moorfields\, Oxford and Oxford Health. \nLimited spaces available. \nRegistration link

SUMMARY:Does the shingles vaccine prevent dementia? Evidence from 6.3 million people in England
DESCRIPTION:Following an influential study in Wales\, they examined whether eligibility for the live herpes zoster vaccine reduces dementia risk in England using a regression discontinuity design based on the 2013 UK rollout. An analysis of over 6.3 million individuals using Hospital Episode Statistics data confirmed that vaccine eligibility significantly reduced hospital-coded herpes zoster\, validating the study design. However\, there was no evidence of a corresponding reduction in hospital-coded dementia\, with results remaining null across multiple sensitivity analyses. Additional checks found no substantial bias or confounding that could explain the discrepancy with earlier studies suggesting protective effects\, and possible reasons for the discrepancy will be discussed. Overall\, the findings suggest that while the vaccine effectively reduces zoster incidence\, any impact on dementia risk in England is likely small or absent.   \nPlease note: This is intended for University of Oxford staff and students only \nMore information and booking.
