Take part in a self-guided museum trail, hosted at the Ashmolean Museum, exploring issues of death, dying and end-of-life care. Adapted from an innovative, award-winning trail forming part of the Oxford medical curriculum, this activity is co-created by a multidisciplinary team spanning the humanities and medical sciences divisions and including the perspectives of expert patient tutors. You can also attend a one-off public discussion event exploring death across different cultural contexts of a diverse society hosted by our panel of experts.

Determining a role for Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) in genomic data governance for cancer care
Abstract Comprehensive collections of cancer data, including genomic data, are needed to improve cancer risk prediction and treatments. A recent government review, Better, Broader, Safer: Using health data for research and analysis, has argued for high-quality Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) for ethical data use. In this paper we determine a role and justification for PPIE to govern uses of genomic data in fields like cancer. First, we analyse two public attitudes studies about the role of PPIE in genomics governance. Second, we characterise two ethically-significant features of the context of governing genomic data: 1) data aggregation leading to novel group formation, and 2) the hybrid territory of genomic cancer data uses. Thirdly, we bring together these aspects to describe a fully determined role for PPIE within an approach to governing cancer genomic data, which is tailored to major areas of ethical consideration. Our account is a novel interpretation of what PPIE is for in governance, how it may foster public support and how its success in so doing depends on it being tailored to context.
Call for a fairer approach to authorship in publishing biomedical research.
In this Perspective article, we call for a fairer approach to authorship practice in collaborative biomedical research to promote equity and inclusiveness. Current practice does not adequately recognise all contributors involved in different stages of the work and may exacerbate preexisting inequalities. Here, we discuss some key features of contemporary collaborative research practice that complicate authorship decisions. These include the project size, complexity of multidisciplinary team involvement and researchers having varying degrees of expertise and experience. We conclude by making some suggestions to address these concerns.
