Who should attend
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
In these unparalleled times, paediatricians, emergency physicians, intensivists and radiologists find themselves at the frontline in the battle against COVID-19. We’ll discuss some of the key frontline diagnostics and findings in the recent pandemic.
Undoubtedly, this has been, and still is, a sharp learning curve for all clinicians. We all believe that we have a duty to share experiences amongst colleagues and learn from those who have been at the coalface, hence ahead of many of us. This is why Infomed has put together the evening of talks with a leading faculty that has been directly involved in radiology and Covid-19.
