Some patients having cancer operations are at high risk of developing heart complications afterwards, including ‘Myocardial Injury after Non-Cardiac Surgery’ (MINS) which is like a mild heart attack. This study will explore if we can predict MINS in cancer patients by using routine pre-op fitness tests alongside blood tests for heart muscle damage.
Identifying those at risk of MINS may allow preventive measures to be taken before and/or after surgery, and thereby improve cancer patient outcomes.

In the Kadoorie Oxford Trauma and Emergency Care Research Group at the University of Oxford, we are developing a research project that will investigate how best to support people to eat well after a hip fracture.

Our Public Engagement Group (PEG) provides a lay perspective on CSO’s work, helping to make sure that the public view is considered in policy and funding decisions.
The primary activity for PEG members is reviewing the final reports of our funded fellowships and grants to ensure they are understandable to a general audience.
Some members sit on various Committees to offer their perspective and help ensure that the outcomes of discussions are transparent and fair.

A new genetic test has now been implemented across fourteen NHS hospitals to predict which babies are at risk of hearing loss due to side effects of antibiotics.

PALOH-UK is a research study that is evaluating this genetic test and will help decide how the genetic test is used across the UK.
