What three things did you like most about the day?

• Take home points from lecture, demos, relaxed questions and answers opportunities

• Convenient location near Euston, good info and CDs of the lectures

• This has been an excellent day. As an Anaesthetist and non-Intensivist but a clinical leader for a post op surgical unit that has f2 doctors (non anaesthetist) it has been a perfect course for helping me to set up a training programme on CPAP. I have made good contacts too to help me set up a programme at work. A most enjoyable day, lectures excellent, and lectures on CD essential
