Watch recordings from the COVID-19: Lessons Learned from the Frontline conference
Organised by Susan Deuchars, University of Leeds, UK, Steve Mathieu, Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, UK, Mike Tipton, University of Portsmouth, UK and Hugh Montgomery, University College London, UK
Bringing together physiologists and critical care specialists, this exciting three-day virtual conference reviewed the challenges of understanding the pathophysiological changes occurring throughout the body following COVID-19 infection.
Working with the Intensive Care Society, the conference shared current knowledge and thinking across many physiological systems, showcased the symbiotic relationship between physiology and clinical care and helped set the agenda for research to identify future treatments and therapies.
This event is accredited by the Royal College of Anaesthetists for 10.5 CPD credits.
