Joint Ventures
Joint Ventures is a series of public information events at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Ventre (NOC) in the form of a pair of short lectures, culminating with discussion and questions from the floor. The talks are followed by refreshments provided in the hospital's cafe area in the atrium, where presenters, medical staff and the audience will be able to meet up and continue their discussions.
These talks are being put in place as part of a programme to engage and inform the public of current and future musculoskeletal research plans in Oxford.

- Local residents
- Charities and patient support groups
- Oxford University Medical Students
- Brookes University - Health Sciences students
- Local schools - 6th form students with an interest in medicine
- Patients in local GP surgeries

The Series provides an informal and relaxed environment where questions relating to the topic can be asked of clinicians and researchers.
