BPS Live webinars were introduced in 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These two-to-three-hour sessions are hosted live and give the audience a chance to submit questions, respond to polls and other interactive tools.
We launched our first webinar in October 2020 with journal partners the British Journal of Pharmacology and the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology on the subject of 'The pharmacology of COVID-19'. We enjoyed 573 unique viewers from 910 registrants (62%) from 46 countries staying for an average viewing time of 1 hour 19 minutes.
In follow up to this, 'Natural Products' ran in July 2021 and enjoyed a unique audience of 257 viewers from 390 registrants (66%) from 34 countries for an average viewing time of 49 minutes.
This represents a very high retention percentage and demonstrates that our online content is well received and of a quality that encourages our audience to stay.
