Conference by Webinar: COVID 19 - The Infection Challenging the World 2021
The very successful BSMT Webinar which ran over 4 days covered laboratory related aspects of COVID-19.
The Webinar was convened in conjunction with media partner Pathology in Practice for their support in publishing relevant articles and promoting the conference. We are also hugely grateful to Step Communications who encouraged us to convene the Webinar and for making it happen - without their support and encouragement it is unlikely it would have taken place.
The BSMT Webinar on laboratory related aspects of COVID-19 drew some complimentary comments including:
- I was delighted to attend this BSMT meeting, all the presentations were very interesting and the format was spot on: efficient wan with a clear messaging. Thanks to all the speakers.
- The virtual conference programme of webinars was really interesting and informative and useful both in terms of understanding the work done on COVID and also for CPD purposes.
- I liked the very clear message of each of the speakers and the story telling format. I also like the fact that you allowed for a real discussion at the end of each session. It was like being in a pub and having an information chat about the subject.
- Didn’t require real time attendance so could deal with urgent lab issues and watch later when not interrupted.
- The spreadout of the presentations over several days was good – meaning I did not have to block out the entire day and maintain attention throughout. The topics that I watched were presented very well.
The Webinar series of lectures (see programme below) was recorded so that anyone can now view the recordings and associated Q&A sessions! Questions not answered during the sessions may be found by following the links below within the programme.
