SUMMARY:An introduction to open publishing and peer review with NIHR Open Research
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will provide an overview of the open publishing and peer review model used by NIHR Open Research\, including advice for first-time authors and NIHR grantees. You will also have the opportunity to hear from Marian Knight\, Professor of Maternal and Child Population Health at the University of Oxford. Marian is the Scientific Director for NIHR Infrastructure\, and an NIHR Open Research Advisory Board member and author; she will share her author experience in using the platform to publish her research. There will be a Q&A and the session will be recorded for registrants who are unable to attend live. \n  \nNIHR Open Research provides all NIHR-funded researchers with a place to publish any results they think are worth sharing. Submissions to NIHR Open Research are subject to editorial checks that ensure the robustness\, quality\, and transparency of the underlying research. Following these checks\, articles are published Open Access before peer review\, so that they can be viewed as quickly as possible. Expert reviewers are then selected and invited\, and their reports and names are published alongside the article\, post-publication. Articles that pass our peer review process are indexed in major databases like PubMed and Scopus.

SUMMARY:Devices & Diagnostics: Turning data into better care
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our next Innovation Club exploring how data from devices\, diagnostics and digital tools is translated into practical\, patient centred care across the healthcare system. This is been delivered as a hybrid session so either join us in person at the Innovation Pop Up (light lunch provided) or online. \n  \nSpeakers: \nDr Andrea Utley – Head of Impact & Innovation\, Biomedical Sciences at the University of Leeds \nAndrea will present findings from three studies assessing the accuracy and efficacy of the Yuwell Anytime continuous glucose monitor. She leads Impact and Innovation in the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Leeds\, working with industry partners on research that supports product development at local\, national and international level.\nTsitsi Chinyandura – Founder of Lotessa Digital Health \nTsitsi will present Lotessa\, her Leeds‑based\, patient‑led digital health platform supporting people prescribed GLP‑1 medications such as Wegovy and Mounjaro. Developed from lived experience\, it supports patients and clinicians across the GLP‑1 pathway\, including BMI verification\, medication logging\, adherence monitoring and side‑effect management. \n  \nMr Paul Nix – Consultant Otolaryngology\, Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust \nPaul will share evidence from a pilot study on Steriwave nasal photodisinfection\, showing how a rapid\, clinician‑led intervention can dramatically reduce surgical site infections. It will explore the implications for patient outcomes\, antibiotic stewardship and wider NHS system productivity. \n  \nDr Nick Gompertz – CEO and founder of EarSwitch  \nNick will present EarSwitch\, an in‑ear technology that captures biometric signals from the ear canal to support more inclusive monitoring and interaction. It will explore how this approach can enable more accessible\, dignified care across assistive technology and future health monitoring.

SUMMARY:Digital Literacy as a Determinant of Health
DESCRIPTION:Digital literacy is increasingly a gateway to health\, wellbeing and opportunity. Accessing GP services\, managing long-term conditions\, applying for benefits\, finding housing support\, or engaging in education now relies on digital confidence as much as clinical provision. \n \nBuilding on widely recognised determinants of health\, such as income\, housing\, education and social networks\, digital inclusion is emerging as a critical determinant shaping how people experience health and care across West Yorkshire. \n \nThis event brings together community leaders\, healthcare professionals\, innovators\, and people with lived experience to explore how local communities are responding and what collective action looks like next. Participants will share insights\, discuss practical solutions\, and contribute to a West Yorkshire Digital Literacy Insight Resource that captures learning from across the region. \n \nWhat to expect \n– Interactive sessions: conversation tables\, QR prompts\, post-it notes and discussion cards so everyone can join in \n– Lightning talks: hear real stories from local innovators\, health educators and people driving change in the community \n– Networking: connect with people from health\, tech\, community organisations and local government \n– Action focus: help identify priorities that will shape the West Yorkshire resource and future One HealthTech activity \n \nWhether you work in health or tech\, or simply care about making digital health fairer\, you’re very welcome. Let’s come together\, share ideas and build something better. Arrive at 17:30 for refreshments\, with the event starting at 18:00.
