Thanks

Excellent topics

Thank you fororganising

it is a very long day when having to listen via zoom. it is very helpful to be able to listen retrospectively, although it takes away the opportunity to ask questions

Better to have live presenters who can answer Qs

Well organised

Nicely organised CPD day. No technical hitches! Well done!

Virtual nature was good. Unlikely to have been able to attend if in-person only.

The virtual nature works for me as would not have been able to attend this study day face to face. Chat ability allows questions and these were answered promptly.

Excellent course, as usual

I've had some experience of speaking on virtual meetings and find it really difficult without real time feedback from the audience, which is something we all have to adapt to I suppose. From the attendee point of view I found it a really good way of "attending" with flexibility to fit in around work, really great to be able to do this without having to get study leave!

Excellent CPD day - especially as virtual, so convenient to attend and good value for money

Happy with current layout

Ran very well in the virtual format.

Worked well

The virtual environment is very convenient. The day was very well chaired. Q&A's worked well

Virtual made it easier to attend

Love the virtual nature. Good for the environment

All the talks were excellent. I faced no problem with it being virtual.

I quite like the virtual format because it avoids the travelling to and from venues. Barring any technological issues, it works well

I would prefer a return to face to face meetings but as online meetings go this worked very well.

I was very happy with the virtual conference. I was able to watch it on a date after the actual conference due to time differences. Great.

It was great to attend virtual course

Nothing to say

very tiring to be listening in one go

Loved the virtual course. Keeps budget down so I can attend these. Also enables me to do from home which helps as life is so busy!

Very clear and well organised

Nicely planned. Good learning experience from the comfort of home

I liked the virtual nature for a 1 day course

well balanced agenda and good timing of the sessions

Well conducted despite the virtual nature

Iexcell

I am very appreciative of virtual CPD events. As a working mum it is often difficult to get to days away but with the virtual event I can still be learning whilst sat outside the dance class!

face to face in future please

Perfect CPD day, virtual nature made it accessible for me. Fantastic topics all relevant to practice. Thank you!

It was good

More courses like this please. Thank you for all your hard work to put this together.

Easy to access recording and each session are not too long which is great

Thank you very much

I was really impressed. Unlike other virtual courses which have had many IT probs, it went very smoothly

Great day. Thank you

Fantastic. Thank you so much

I watched this in Australia a couple of weeks after the event. Excellent flexibility.

Virtual worked really well. Easy to access and good communication before the event

Please always have a virtual option

Virtual worked well. Good level for the general dgh paed anaesthetist. Well done to organisers.

I had covid so couldn’t have attended in person!

Please continue with a virtual day as well.

Was done very well, but I much prefer in person conferences.

Excellent talks. Thank you for arranging the session.

I love virtual meetings. Completely effective to deliver the content and I don’t need to travel.

The virtual nature made is far more accessible. Thank you for doing that.

very well organised, relevant topics covered by experts in their field

Lots of presenters talked about putting links in the chat or sending stuff out later. I accessed the talk much later than the live day - how can I access resources please?

No, woiuld be nice to return to face to face when possible for the social benefits of the meeting

perfect day for learning All amazing and experienced presenters

v educational

Useful to have an area or webpage with links to relevant guidelines, references, reading material.

Most of my department here in Australia managed to view the course because it was virtual. Hoping this will continue outside of Covid. Thanks

Whilst I think virtual has its definite upsides, you can't beat the social aspect of face to face and exchanging ideas and stories - face to face probably adds more to the day. But thanks for a great day!!

Some of the lectures were only loosely associated with paediatric anaesthesia

Fabtastic

The online format works well for these type of meetings. It would be good to remind the speakers that the audience may not always have access to their screen (e.g. listening in whilst driving) — and that describing the key slides would sometimes help!

Very well run. Informative, good time-keeping and adequate break periods.

Platform worked well.

I think virtual was fine, saved travel time and costs which meant I could attend

Excellent virtually organised format

Incredibly useful to have it virtually. I could not attend otherwise. An excellent event and superb value for money

Good programme and engaging speakers at a reasonable price - congratulations to the organisers. The Zoom platform worked pretty well but there were several moments during which sound was lost. (I don’t think this was just at my end because it was referenced in the chat section at one point.) Also there seemed to be some scribble on the screen for one of the talks which was rather distracting. If I recall correctly (I haven’t used Zoom for meetings for a long time now as my Trust switched to Teams) there is functionality within Zoom such that this may have been done by a delegate in error. Despite these virtual issues overall it was a good day for £50, so thank you.

Love the format - can catch up later- sometimes in bite-size chunks.

Bring back face to face!

Really good program - well delivered. Good amount of time for questions and targeted to include general anaesthetists. Thank you.

Good and convenient

I found the virtual aspect extremely useful and user friendly. Please dont take it away.

ran very well thank you

Good idea to be able to retrospectively watch the recordings.

Ran well, good IT setup. Happy to still do virtual study days.

Virtual nature is excellent. No need to travel, costly hotels and rubbish food. Same quality of content from the comfort of home

none. It was comprehensive.

Virtual course plus recordings was excellent as I am on Mat leave. I was able to complete most of the course in real time and finish later when convenient.

Overall good programme. Well run.

It all ran very smoothly.
