Comments from last year's Webinar

Having the talks recorded to catch up on was great, the range of topics was excellent, the speaker were all engaging and interesting
Extremely well organised and easily accessible. Great speakers - all very well informed with useful presentations. Up to date information delivered well despite the recent global circumstances.
As an FY2 doctor with interest in specialising in paediatric medicine this was an invaluable learning opportunity and has given me a lot of useful and up-to-date information on relevant and important topics.
I could attend from the comfort of home, content of course good, good IT support without any glitches
Still being able to update, being able to access things later, not having to travel and leave children etc makes it far easier to access
I feel much better equipped with updated high quality evidence to support my practice
Good topic range, engaging speakers, and the option to catch up later
Very good organisation and streaming service; Excellent update on interesting topics; Gaining knowledge which I can use in my practice.
A lot of information to take back to work. Especially regarding safeguarding and audits
Good coverage, IT support and I didn't have to travel a long distance!
