Past delegates comments

High quality lectures and speakers, good variety of subjects
Questions and answers session very useful. Good range of topics
Good to reinforce lecturing in afternoon groups
Efficiently organised, good to have a relevant group of topics
Great Infomed support, very informative course and rightly paced
Very efficient time management, course well structured and discussion groups well organised
I had been trying to find a course like this for ages – I came after positive colleagues’ feedback
A Psychiatrist for 10 years never had a medical update, glad I came!
I think all Psychiatrists should attend this Update to refresh medical knowledge.
Good chance to interact with medical colleagues. All relevant to my practice Did what was promised, pre-seminar links and lecture material very useful clinical relevance and clarity
