Thank you to our participants, sponsors, and speakers who joined us for our Annual POCT Conference in December this year. This was the first time we had 2 full days dedicated to POCT and we were delighted at how well attended the conference was. After listening to your feedback, this year we decided to expand our EQA workshop session to be longer and more interactive with attendees presenting their solutions to case studies, which we felt really added to the session.
The two days also saw some excellent presentations from a variety of POCT experts. As always, it was great to see participants taking the opportunity to network with Weqas staff, speakers, sponsors, and peers in attendance from across Europe.
With the success of our 1 day Laboratory Conference in June and this 2 day POCT Conference in December, we are looking forward to using the same format next year. If there is anything else you want to see as part of our education and training programme, or if you want us to include a particular theme or topic next year, please email us at contact@weqas.com.
