NEW 3-Year Postdoctoral Position We’re hiring a postdoc to join a new, interdisciplinary NIHR programme focused on the design-led development and evaluation of patient-centred risk communication tools for medicine use before and during pregnancy. @nihr.bsky.social qmul-jobs.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/...

another NEW study using the anonymised QResearch database with some interesting results. Are GP incentives for smoking cessation hitting the mark? New study questions impact on effective care for heart patients www.phc.ox.ac.uk/news/smoking...

the new canPredict-ED algorithms will supersede the widely used qcancer.org tools to help drive improvements in early diagnosis of cancer - an area where the UK has massive scope for improvement.

The study, published today in @natcomms.nature.com, can be read here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

this graph from our latest paper in Nature Comms shows how risk of cancer varies with levels of commonly used liver function tests. Its particularly valuable addition to the cancer prediction algorithms given the huge number of these blood tests every year www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The #research used the anonymised electronic health records of 7.4 million adults in England plus the results of 7 routine blood tests to create the new algorithms which could revolutionise how cancer is detected in primary care, and make it easier for patients to get treatment at earlier stages.

The NHS currently uses prediction #algorithms, such as the QCancer scores, to combine relevant information from patient data and identify individuals deemed at high risk of having a currently undiagnosed cancer, enabling GPs and specialists to call them in for further testing.

Researchers from @qmul.ac.uk and the @ox.ac.uk have created 2 new advanced predictive algorithms which use health data and routine blood tests to accurately predict a patient’s chances of having a currently undiagnosed #cancer, including hard to diagnose liver and oral cancers.

Delighted our NEW paper on improved algorithms (CandPredict-ED) to help early diagnosis of cancer has just been published in Nature Comms. www.qmul.ac.uk/media/news/2... @qmul-wiph.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk @oxprimarycare.bsky.social @medsci.ox.ac.uk

New research shows a worrying trend: not all clinically vulnerable patients are getting equal access to Sotrovimab, a COVID-19 treatment, despite it being safe to use. @juliahcox.bsky.social and colleagues raise serious concerns about health inequalities. Read more 🔗 #HealthEquity #COVID19

Concerning ethnic disparities in access to safe COVID-19 treatment, new study shows www.phc.ox.ac.uk/news/concern...
