2020 Testimonials (Virtual)
"Congratulations PCRS for an entirely positive experience in such challenging circumstances. You should be rightly proud of the achievement by all your organising and operating team. I commend your efforts as an example for others to follow."
"I have always wanted to come to the PCRS conference but was too far away, so great to have it virtual. it was very easy to concentrate on the presentations. I did not think I would be able to navigate it virtually so pleased I could access all, the presentations."
"The conference exceeded my expectations (which were, as always very high!). I wasn't sure about a 2 day virtual conference, but it was absolutely amazing. Of course I missed seeing everyone, being together; but the quality of the virtual platform, topics and absolutely incredible speakers - made it possibly my best conference yet!"
"I certainly feel that the virtual conference was a great success! Thank you for all of your hard work for putting together a fantastic conference during a pandemic."
"Really excellent programme and an amazing platform"
"Absolutely excellent virtual conference. Very impressed with how seamless and professional it has been from start to finish. Well done to everyone involved."
"I have not been able to attend these in the past due to the time, travel and cost so this virtual option was excellent and was able to be funded by my Trust. As a Physiotherapist it had topics that were interesting but not necessarily vital for my role but it also had topics that were very relevant to my role - therefore an excellent balance for all Healthcare professionals in Respiratory Care."
"Hugely beneficial to be able to access sessions remotely and then to be able to play back afterwards. It's amazing what you miss first time around. Q&A afterwards was fantastic at answering queries clearly and concisely."
"I really enjoyed the virtual conference; was very easy to navigate the system and interact with each other."
"Virtual was different but actually it was just as dynamic as if we were face to face so I really enjoyed this conference. Always full of information that I can take back to my practice."
