Delegate Feedback from 2025

  • Excellent update/review—one of the best courses I have had in years. Many thanks! 
  • A very good coverage of resuscitation topics. Nothing to change or add, a really enjoyable and useful course that I will refer back to. 
  • We were presented with great content, all well delivered by an expert faculty with clear objectives and good timekeeping—well done again, Infomed! 
  • Very useful refresher course for all the doctors and healthcare staff working on the frontline. 
  • No new topics to add, please! The course content was spot-on for everyday use. Courses like this can often drift into token sessions on areas such as drowning, hypothermia, and special circumstances. There is a place for these topics (perhaps a separate course), but this course was really nicely pitched, and the occasional duplication helped reinforce the overall message. Well done to all the speakers and to the Infomed organisers. 
  • Excellent presentations by quality presenters, with lots of evidence-based information in smooth sessions. 
  • All lectures were really good—in particular, the ultrasound guide to fluid responsiveness, trauma resuscitation guidelines, sepsis discussion, and cardiogenic shock. 
  • Having remote access, 90-day playback, last-minute booking, and attending from home—excellent flexibility. 
  • Lectures had a very good level of content, well supported by polling and interaction. 
  • Thorough presenters on topical issues, all with up-to-date information. 
  • Presentations with clear thinking and ideas for innovation—useful for my everyday practice. 
  • Very good level of content and learning for both revision and new updates, my goal was achieved. 
  • Lots of consideration of fluid management, including blood products—this was good. I will try to raise awareness about fluid resuscitation. 
  • New trends and lots of journal references and future ideas. I loved the spaced-out break times in between sessions too. 
  • This was a quality update and refresher with a good range of topics.—can’t think of anything to add to it. 
  • Webex platform worked well—responsive to technical issues and easy to use—quite liked it (much better than Teams!).
