National Aspergillosis Centre Seminar Series 2022

This year for World Aspergillosis Day the National Aspergillosis Centre held a series of talks from clinicians and patients about aspergillosis. The event was a resounding success (even with a few technical glitches), with 160 people attending across the day for the various talks. 

Below are the recorded talks and PowerPoint presentations from the day.

During the talks, we offered the option to ask questions in the Zoom chat. If after you have watched the recorded video of the meeting you also wish to ask a question please contact us at NAC.Cares@mft.nhs.uk
