Half-Marathon Webinar – Saturday 16 May, from 14:00 hrs CEST

Two weeks after the WHO assessment of COVID-19 as a pandemic, ESICM united more than 130,000 health care professionals from 160 different countries, for an 8-hour live marathon webinar on COVID-19, connected through YouTube, Facebook and the Society’s website.

Global interest in the work of intensive care professionals and the need for more information and guidance about the pandemic and treatment of critically ill COVID-19 patients, has led the Society to continue to provide free, open access resources, and also a second webinar of a shorter duration, which it is calling a “half marathon” webinar.

The COVID-19 Half Marathon will take place on Saturday 16 May 2020, from 14.00-18.00 hrs CEST and will involve guest speakers, clinical researchers and leading experts, such as:

• Prof. Jan De Waele (Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium and current Chair of the ESICM Research Committee)
• Prof. Julie Helms (Strasbourg University Hospital, France)
• Dr Lennie Derde (UMC Utrecht, The Netherlands)

Among the topics to be covered are:
