SUMMARY:RCN International Nursing Research Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:Nursing Research: Transforming Global Health in a Changing World \nTranslational research based on best available evidence to improve care is core business for Nurses. This conference will explore the pivotal role of nursing research in addressing pressing health challenges. As global health dynamics evolve due to emerging diseases\, climate change\, and shifting demographics\, this conference will highlight how innovative research can drive equitable\, evidence-based care. \nBringing together nursing leaders\, researchers\, and practitioners\, the conference will foster collaboration to advance healthcare solutions\, strengthen resilience\, and shape the future of global health in an ever-changing landscape. \nThe 2025 RCN International Nursing Research Conference will also showcase research that demonstrates strong methodological expertise and team working leading to improved clinical and applied health\, public\, social and community health and/or acute care settings. We will celebrate research that uses innovative designs to facilitate inclusion of all stakeholders. \nWhilst the annual RCN International Nursing Research Conference focuses on celebrating nursing research\, we are keen to welcome all health and social care professionals. \nThe programme will also showcase: \n\nNursing research from all fields and specialities that aim to improve health and social care outcomes in a range of settings.\nResearch using inclusive methods and that celebrate diversity\nEmbedding of research into nursing roles to apply best evidence\, improve clinical practice and enhance impact\nInclusive patient and public involvement\nTrans-disciplinary research and researchers.\n\nFind out more about call for abstract criteria and guidance. \n2025 Clinical Research Nursing \nWe are delighted that following on from the successes of last year\, the RCN International Nursing Research Conference 2025 will include a day’s programme specifically for Clinical Research Nursing\, open to all delegates. This will support learning and celebrate the work of nurses who lead\, design and deliver research in clinical settings. \nTo aid CRN submissions\, a webinar on how to submit an abstract will be hosted on 30 January at 3pm. Further details can be found here. \nPlease note. All presenters are required to register to attend the conference in person to present. \nWords from the 2025 Conference Chair\, Professor Jane Coad \n“We are so looking forward to meeting you in Exeter in 2025 to hear about your transformative research and share the future possibilities for future research. We will have a full and comprehensive programme which will enable opportunities to present\, discuss and debate impactful research\, but also network with friends – old and new.  We do hope you can join us in September for what promises to be an insightful and informative three days.” \n Target audience \n\nThe conference is open to anyone interested in nursing and research. It will be of interest to nurses\, and colleagues in related disciplines\, involved in the development and use of knowledge that impacts on nursing practice or the context in which nurses’ practice. \n#RCNresearch25 \n\nCall for Abstracts are now open. \nMore Information about the Early Career Researcher opportunity and Ten subsidised delegate spaces can be found via the embedded links.

SUMMARY:The Past is Not Past: Incorporating Historical Context into Psychological Therapy with People from Minoritised Ethnicities
DESCRIPTION:Historical context is a key factor in psychological therapy with people from minoritised ethnicities. The ongoing effects of historical experiences of discrimination and self-empowerment continue to shape the lived experiences of people from minority ethnic communities and influence their interactions with psychological therapy and healthcare systems in general today. However\, historical context remains underexplored in the academic mental health literature. \nThis webinar will explore why and how historical context should be incorporated into psychological therapy with people from minoritised ethnicities. It will have a focus on cognitive behavioural therapy and will\, in addition to a theoretical conceptualisation\, suggest practical steps attendees can take to include historical context in their work. The histories of minority ethnic communities are also relevant in healthcare services in general\, so there will be some discussion of how these historical legacies might be addressed across the healthcare system. \nMore information and registration.

SUMMARY:Artificial intelligence for electronic health records
DESCRIPTION:Open to members of the University of Oxford only. \nThis talk by Dr. Shishir Rao explores how artificial intelligence (AI) on routinely collected electronic health records (EHR) data can transform healthcare research. The talk will focus on development and application of Transformer-based models for handling rich\, multitype EHR\, leveraging AI for prediction for early intervention\, accelerating disease understanding\, and conducting well-adjusted causal inference on large-scale EHR. Furthermore\, the presentation will address critical challenges in the space of AI and healthcare: determining appropriate AI applications\, ensuring trustworthiness\, mitigating algorithmic bias\, and validating clinical utility. \nMore information.

SUMMARY:Positive Experience Shifts Fear Memories Away from Basolateral Amygdala
DESCRIPTION:Open to members of the University of Oxford only. \nThe basolateral amygdala (BLA) is at the centre of all biological models that detail how we form fear memories across species. However\, we have recently shown that GABAergic neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LH GABA) become critical for formation of fear memories if subjects have recently had a positive experience. In this talk\, I will present data on how the recruitment of LH GABA neurons to encode fear memories impacts the role of the BLA in encoding fear memories. Using both optogenetic and lesion manipulations of BLA activity\, we first replicated findings that BLA activity is required for formation of fear memories in experimentally-naïve rats. However\, we found that if rats have recently had a distinct\, positively-valenced experience\, the BLA was no longer necessary for the formation of the fear memory. This shows that recruitment of LH GABA neurons to encode fear memories shifts the encoding of fear memories away from the BLA. As one of the most replicable findings in the behavioural neuroscience literature is that BLA inactivation or damage produces deficits in the formation of fear memories\, these data require a reconsideration of biological models of fear memories. More generally\, this work shows that brain regions can be recruited to encode information outside their traditional specialization and suggest a more fluid approach to conceptualizing memory formation\, which considers diversity of experience. \nMore information and registration.

SUMMARY:Regulation of RyR2 in the heart and brain
DESCRIPTION:Open to University of Oxford staff. \nType-2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) mediated calcium release controls the contraction of cardiac myocytes and the excitability of neurons. Consequently\, inappropriate activation of RyR2 leads to disease\, such as arrhythmias and Alzheimer’s disease. Prof Jones will describe his published and unpublished research examining the pathophysiological regulation of RyR2 in the heart and brain. This spans from single protein super-resolution microscopy\, through real time calcium imaging\, to in vivo analysis in animal models\, and characterisation in human tissue. He will also present data on how targeting RyR2 might offer new treatments for arrhythmias and Alzheimer’s disease.\nMore information and registration.
