Communications
The Communications Team supports the Primary Care Department by providing advice with wide-ranging requirements from websites, social media, filming, printing and graphic design to managing press enquiries, press releases and internal communications. We also promote the department’s research, clinical trials and study programmes.
We disseminate departmental news, policies and guidelines and manage the department’s brand identity.
Departmental Weekly Update
We produce a weekly, internal newsletter for the department with all the news and comment from the week. If you would like to have an item included then please email it to newsletter@phc.ox.ac.uk. Copy deadline is midday on Thursdays.
