eLearning in less than 60 minutes
In this room you will find a series of workshops using a multimedia presentation of PowerPoint slides with audio commentary by the NPC team. You will need speakers and a sound card in your computer.
There's a lot of evidence about NSAIDs, it is complex and has been published piecemeal. We have summarised this into what we believe is a fair, balanced and accurate summary of the current position. But unfortunately we haven't been able to keep to our plan of "everything you need to know about X in less than 60 minutes". The workshops are each around 20 minutes - in keeping with the "bite-sized chunks" philosophy - and an outline of the content of each workshop is given below. Simply click on one of the underlined links and then click on the play icon to begin. You can jump forwards to skip a slide or backwards to repeat a slide by clicking the relevant slide on the left hand side of the console.
