The speakers were very professional and knowledgeable. They delivered the content in an easy format and allowed plenty of time for questions and interaction from the attendees. I particularly liked the section regarding the context of the regulation and background to its development which will help me when explaining this to my clients.

[The speakers were] all very knowledgeable. The whole course was very reassuring with the 'big monster' of the MDR being broken down so that it appears manageable and less scary. It was full of helpful advice both general and specific to my products.
