This webinar will be an opportunity for trainees to present cases that they have directly managed during the pandemic, illustrating an understanding of the management of acute and chronic conditions in the unique circumstances of COVID-19.

Presenters should be able to exhibit fluency in the principles of risk assessment and hierarchy of control with a focus on reflection and lessons learnt and ability to communicate effectively with managers and employees. Case abstracts would be made available.
