Postponement and new date for the Anaesthesia and the Obese Patient 2021 Webinar
Due to the rapidly evolving COVID situation, during the Xmas break and today, we are being contacted by a number of subscribing delegates, and key faculty members, advising us that their study leave, and, in many cases annual leave, has been cancelled or it will be soon cancelled by clinical directors and trusts. We fully understand the need to do this during these challenging times. Bearing in mind the above, we have had to reschedule this webinar due to take place in late January and early February for Thursday 13 May 2021 when we expect the situation will far more settled. It is our intention to provide you with a quality event rather than what could be a sub-par event with hastily recruited new last-minute faculty.

I think the online streaming format really works, it should bring costs down, more environmentally friendly...should be used more often now.

Excellent - the streaming service was excellent in audio and video. There was no lag between the delivery and the AV content.

I must say that I was very impressed, given current Coronavirus issues, at late notice sorted out online streaming of the conference that worked well. The organisers showed a good understanding of the situation. Well delivered and well done Infomed.
