ifa live is our free online format where we regularly inform you about important health topics. The ifa experts each give an online presentation, after which you can ask your questions.
The focus of ifa live is on up-to-date and personal information as well as personal exchange, which is why the presentations are not recorded. If you are interested, the ifa experts will be happy to hold individual events for you and your teams. We look forward to hearing from you via e-mail.
Participating in the online presentation is easy. Save the event to your personal calendar using the appropriate button or click on «Participate» when the time comes and you will be taken directly to the event in MS Teams.
