Feedback from delegates of this course in 2024

I found the imaging sections first class, and some of the other areas very interesting even though I don't come across the histology/cytology/management in my practice. I am really grateful that the subject was covered.
2024 course delegate
Very good course, exactly what I was hoping for.
2024 course delegate
Really good day course. covered lots but not overwhelming.

2024 course delegate
The subjects, the intervals, perfect delivery all to be enjoyed from my home!
2024 course delegate
Very good content, especially good coverage of histopathology/cytology, and the availability of recordings after the course for reviewing…included in the price!
2024 course delegate
What a variety of excellent speakers from clinical, radiology, pathology and oncology - a true representation of the Thyroid MDT and how it works
2024 course delegate
Excellent that I could do it from home, learnt what cytology categories mean, learnt about new histology entities and more!
2024 course delegate
A very good coverage of non-radiology material made easy to understand by a wide breath of excellent contributors from different backgrounds, I liked the use of Slido for the histology lecture.
2024 course delegate
Excellent coverage of a subject that is covered very rarely in any other course, the course had ease of access and very good IT support from Informed (Jack and Oliver did a good job) as always.
2024 course delegate
The content, the delivery of the presentations, timings, enthusiasm and the discussions were very good
2024 course delegate
After this course I have a much better understanding of cytology to take forward to better understand what the pathologist is saying; it will be much easier now to assess thyroid US scans and terminology.
2024 course delegate
This course encouraged me to try attending as many MDTs as possible; it gave more knowledge and answered my questions
2024 course delegate
Certainly improved my understanding of ultrasound classification, pathology, TNM for my work as radiologist in paediatric and TYA oncology MDTs.
2024 course delegate
I will be more confident in reporting thyroid lesions on Ultrasound and generally when I come across incidental thyroid pathology.
2024 course delegate
Yes definitely gained a lot and it made concepts clear - hence at a better state to teach and explain to patients as well
2024 course delegate
Better understanding of the broader approach to thyroid disease it helped me to identify areas that I need to do more studying - thanks
2024 course delegate
A great basis from which to start my subspecialty training in head and neck radiology.
