Two duplicated virtual half day update sessions took place on the afternoon of Tuesday 22 October and the morning of Wednesday 23 October. The same content was delivered on both days in order to provide as much flexibility and attendance as possible. The days offered a fixed programme of MS Teams sessions in a lecture style format, where attendees could drop-in and out as relevant.
