Understanding inflammation - A patient-centred perspective

Gut, skin, joints, brain – inflammation can affect various parts of the body. But for too long we have treated them separately. Now, NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) researchers are looking at treatments that recognise the common features across different inflammatory diseases. In this Oxford BRC public talk, Professor Chris Buckley, Director of Clinical Research at the University of Oxford’s Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, and patient representative Georgina McMasters, discussed how traditional speciality-driven approaches are evolving into a more holistic, cross-disease perspective. The talk took place on Tuesday 21 November 2023 at Rewley House, Wellington Square, Oxford.
