The event – held jointly with Oxford Health and Oxford BRC – will allow members of the public to visit over 40 interactive stands and learn about the incredible research carried out across Oxford, including the latest developments in diagnosis and treatment of respiratory disease, the importance of sleep,  mental health issues, endometriosis, dementia and many other conditions, as well as being able to find out about how you can get involved in our research.

The event takes place during May half term offering an opportunity for young people and members of the public interested in health care research and its impact on patients, a chance to engage with clinical researchers from Oxford’s two BRCs, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford University Hospitals and the University of Oxford.

The Open Day will open officially at 10am with a welcome speech from Oxford Health BRC Director Prof John Geddes and Oxford BRC Director Prof Helen McShane.

Leiden Square can be found on the ground floor of the Westgate Shopping Centre, Oxford.
