After a successful end to our 6th Helapet.net Study Day programme, we have since enjoyed reviewing and analysing the delegate assessments collected at each of our 1 day sessions.

We have pulled together all your feedback across several aspects of the day including, topics covered, course format, our speakers, facilities and locations.

We are pleased to report that over 98% of delegates confirmed this year's study days were useful, informative, relevant and had fulfilled their expectations, with 100% of respondents confirming they would attend future courses. General feedback on the course format and site locations (this year set in The Vale Resort in Wales, Crewe Hall in Crewe and the Kia Oval in London) was also very positive.

Suggestions were invited for future topics we could introduce and were delighted to receive several thoughts including cleanroom design, practical aspects of aseptic manipulation, data integrity, technician validations, environmental monitoring, risk management, gowning and needle-free devices.

We would like to once again thank all the delegates for taking part. If you are interested in learning more about future study day events please email info@helapet.co.uk, or visit www.helapet.net.
