Dear conference delegates,
It was great to see you all! Thank you so much for coming. Some of you from far away, some of you with adventurous flights redirected to different airports to those scheduled. Despite the rainy weather, the only thing we couldn’t book for you, you kept smiling from the very beginning to the very last moments. Your happy faces were a huge reward for our efforts!
There is no doubt that this has been the most multinational and multicultural English for Healthcare conference ever. We got some really positive feedback on the variety of topics chosen, all providing much food for thought to take home. Many of you appreciated the communal on-campus accommodation, which provided an additional space away from the venue for more networking and making friends. And the lunches, dinners and croissants all seemed to go down well!
A big ‘thank you’ to the sponsors who not only presented their work as a part of the programme or at their stands, but also joined in with the social events for many informal chats.
We hugely appreciate all of it!
