Structure of day with dedicated 90 min slots to different specialities. Enough time to give a comprehensive update of major topics in each of the medical specialities, but not too long as to become bogged down with specifics of speciality/dedicate too much time to one speciality. The range of subjects was good; all presenters were well prepared and presented well. Location was good and it was well organised.
