This Obesity Event was the first Barnsley BEST event, that I had the pleasure of organising, as my role as GP Tutor for Barnsley, to which approximately just over 100 delegates attended. It was the first time that the Audience Response System was used to allow the delegates to vote interactively , yet anonymously.
The programme was extremely full but very useful as reflected by the feedback received after the event. Dr.Uchegbu's presentation may seem a bit rushed, however this was because the presentation was inserted into the programme at the last moment. The slides are extremely informative.
