“I thought I would just let you know how much everyone enjoyed our conference 'Practical Respiratory Medicine' held at St Catharine’s this weekend. The new McGrath Centre is outstanding, but everyone enjoyed the college and the staff were very helpful. I am trying to persuade the organisers to use St Caths every year for this conference!”
