SUMMARY:Understanding Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Deloitte and NIHR invite you to an exclusive training\, bringing together colleagues and partners across NIHR\, to learn and discuss:​ \n·          What is health equity?​ \n·          What is the impact of social determinants on health?​ \n·          How can you activate health equity in your work?​ \n·          How can you learn more? \n  \nSocial determinants of health account for up to 80% of health outcomes\, leading to vast differences both across and between countries and populations.​ \n  \nOutcomes from surgery are not equal – people from deprived backgrounds are more likely to face longer wait times and face multiple health conditions which means their post operative outcomes are worse 1.  From early research through to implementation and evaluation of surgical innovations – NIHR play a critical role in improving health equity for surgery and beyond. \n  \nJoin us to discuss how to drive Health Equity – the fair and just opportunity for everyone to fulfil their human potential in all aspects of health and wellbeing. \n  \n\nhttps://www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-analysis/reports/health-inequalities-nhs-waiting-lists

SUMMARY:NIHR Open Research publishing options webinar
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to find out more about your publishing options with NIHR Open Research? \nThis session will introduce the open publishing and peer review model used by NIHR Open Research\, including advice for first-time authors and NIHR grantees.  \nNIHR Open Research provides all NIHR-funded researchers with a place to publish any results they think are worth sharing. Submissions to NIHR OR are subject to editorial checks that ensure the robustness\, quality\, and transparency of the underlying research.

Expert reviewers are then selected and invited\, and their reports and names are published alongside the article\, post-publication. \nThis webinar will include a presentation on the publication requirements for NIHR Open Research\, and the submission\, revision\, and post-publication open peer review workflows. We will provide advice for authors on how to ensure that submissions meet the requirements for open publishing\, and how to engage with the revision and peer review process that follows – and you will also have the opportunity to hear from a NIHR grantee and NIHR Open Research author about their experience of using the platform to publish their research. There will be a Q&A and the session will be recorded for registrants who are unable to attend live. \n\nRegister to attend the NIHR Open Research webinar\, taking place at 11am\, 25 September. \nAll registrants will receive a recording of the webinar afterwards.
