After 2 years for running Branch meetings via Zoom, our next event, on 14 April, “Big Data Computing in Healthcare” will be held both “in person” and “via Zoom”. (If this is successful, and virus cases do not escalate, we hope that subsequent meetings will also be of this hybrid type.)

“In Person” Logistics

The “in person” meeting will be held at our usual meeting place: OeRC, University of Oxford, 6 Keble Road, OX1 3QG. The meeting will commence at 7:30pm, and light refreshments will be available beforehand. Please register for the event as usual using the Eventbrite link on the website or via MeetUp, where you will be able to indicate whether you are attending via Zoom or in person.

Covid Guidelines

As the Covid infection is still with us , we would request that “in person” attendees follow some sensible guidelines, summarised below:

• please don’t attend if you have any Covid symptoms or test positive
• respect other attendees by maintaining social distancing both in the lecture theatre, and when socialising before the event
• please ware masks when not eating
• we would recommend talking a Lateral Flow Test before attending the event

We will be maximising the ventilation on the lecture theatre, so attendees should be prepared for the lecture theatre to be cooler than usual.

We therefore look forward to welcoming you on 14 April, whether attending in person or via Zoom, for what should be an interesting talk.
