| 15th November 2023 | 13.00-14.30 | PenARC Seminar series | Exploring Intergenerational Relationships Iona Lawrence, freelance strategist and campaigner In this talk, Iona Lawrence will share some of her observations and conclusions from her recent Churchill Fellowship which took her across Austria, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands in search of intergenerational activists and change makers. This will be with a view to prompting a discussion about what action and policy change is needed next to weave the intergenerational connections a fairer and more equitable society needs. Iona is keen to offer support or advice to those wanting to work in the intergenerational research and connections space. If you would like to meet with Iona before her talk (in-person only), please get in touch with Becky Whear by no later than Wednesday 8th November. Iona Lawrence is a freelance strategist, campaigner and extra pair of hands for charities and nonprofits up and down the country. In 2016 Iona set up the Jo Cox Foundation in memory of her friend Jo Cox MP through which she campaigned to appoint the world's first Minister for Loneliness. In 2023 Iona completed her Churchill Fellowship. Travelling across Austria, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, she spent two months meeting intergenerational activists and change makers to better understand what more can be done in the UK to boost and bolster intergenerational connections. Her findings offer a glimpse of an intergenerational future and a clear view of what is holding us back from getting there - you can read them here. Alongside her work on loneliness and social connection, Iona is Co-Founder of The Decelerator which supports nonprofit organisations and individuals to consider and design closures, mergers, CEO transitions, programming ends, and all sorts of endings as just part of the everyday life of organisations and inevitable cycles of change in civil society.

Incorporating Prior Beliefs Into Meta‐Analyses of Health‐State Utility Values Using the Bayesian Power Prior Anthony Hatswell will present on meta‐analysing utility values, and a recent paper showing how this can be done including weightings for beliefs on which study is more relevant – an approach known as the Bayesian Power Prior (BPP). Anthony Hatswell is a health economist and statistician. After his education at the University of York, he worked at Sanofi and GSK, as well as in consulting where he now runs Delta Hat. In addition to this he performs research at UCL where he looks at statistical methods to analyse uncontrolled clinical studies (otherwise known as single arm trials) and sits on the NICE interventional procedures committee. |

| 14th December 2023 | 15.00-16.15 with Q&A and drinks reception to follow | Faculty of Health and Life Sciences Seminar | A General Theory of Rehabilitation: it catalyses and assists adaptation to illness Professor Derick Wade, Oxford Brookes University This seminar answers the question that Professor Derick Wade first asked in 1980, What is rehabilitation? Rehabilitation has been without a theoretical basis since the word was first used in 1918. My theory can be summarised: Rehabilitation optimises a person’s adaptation to their illness.” I will outline the building blocks: adaptation to change is universal and constant; its purpose is to maintain an equilibrium between important factors; for a person, these factors can be related to Maslow’s five areas of need; humans have a central homeostatic mechanism that alters behaviour to achieve homeostasis; when the change is due to an illness, rehabilitation facilitates adaptation by catalysing many adaptive responses and, when needed, giving direct assistance. Derick Wade trained in medicine, qualifying in 1973. He worked in many specialist areas including neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and general practice before undertaking stroke research 1980-1986. He then became a consultant (later a professor) in neurological rehabilitation and has worked in rehabilitation since. He has undertaken many trials and has over 300 papers. Professor Wade is visiting from Oxford, and this is a fantastic opportunity to hear him in person. Places are limited so please register as soon as possible to guarantee your place.
