Table 5. Qualitative themes and combined quotes from participating students when asked about positives and improvement points for the taught sessions.

SAQ: Self-assessment questionnaire, PE: Pulmonary embolism, NICE: National Institute for Health and Care Excellence

Themes	Positives	Improvements
Content	"Really great in-depth and relevant teaching'' \| ''Focussed on preparing for finals and FY1''	"Quite a lot of content to cover in 1 hour, some things on slides weren’t fully explained'' \| ''Clear images as CXR was blurry''
Delivery	"Pitched at a really good level, pace was fast enough to be able to get through the relevant topics but not so fast that I couldn’t keep up'' \| ''The pace of the talk was good. Not too quick''	'Some SAQ-based questions would be beneficial'' \| ''A little longer (time should be) spent explaining the management''
Interaction	"Interactive cases'' \| ''Good interactions and to the point''	"Could try to use the poll function to ask questions as it gives more people a chance to answer rather than the same few people who answer really quickly in the chat'' \| ''A few more interactive cases if possible''
Knowledge	"Was a very good speaker. Knowledgeable, ran to time, the perfect level for us'' \| ''Knowledgeable''	"Management of PE is not up-to-date with new NICE guidelines'' \| ''Answered questions but too much detail given beyond what our finals require''
