From inspiration to publication: bumps along the road (as part of the Postgraduate Programme in Evidence-Based Health Care)

Series
Evidence-Based Health Care
Embed
Dr Helen Ashdown is a GP and Clinical Researcher in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford.

During her clinical academic training, she designed and led a study to investigate whether pain on going over speed bumps when travelling to hospital is a good diagnostic test for appendicitis. This was published in the 2012 Christmas edition of the British Medical Journal. She will describe her own bumpy journey through the process of answering a clinical question - navigating the tortuous course from research question, ethics, study design and recruitment through to Christmas radio shows.

St Cross Seminar: Natural Human Rights: A Theory

Series
Uehiro Oxford Institute
Embed
This talk explores the central argument in Boylan's recent book, 'Natural Human Rights: A Theory'
Arguing against the grain of most contemporary writers on the subject, I contend that an examination of the structure and function of human action allows one to bridge the fact/value chasm to create binding positive duties that recognize fundamental human rights claims. This theoretical argument is then suggestively applied to contemporary social and political problems in the world.
