Delegate Comments
'I thought it might be aimed at a more senior level but was glad it was not and it was not hard to ask 'simple level' questions. Good to feel that so many others come up against the same challenges.'
Catherine Pumphrey, European Respiratory Society
'This was a good introduction to commissioning pitched at a level for both experienced and novice commissioning Editors. I enjoyed the day.'
