Block Grant Scheme

Attend multiple RCPE symposia for a one-off study leave payment of £100

The RCPE has agreements with the East of Scotland, North of Scotland and South East Scotland Deaneries whereby attendance by a SpR or ST3+ in a medical specialty or an ST1/ST2 doctor undertaking CMT or ACCS at any event in the College’s main symposium programme triggers a one-off payment of £100 from the study leave budget.

That trainee can then attend as many other symposia as they wish during that academic session (September to June) without any further charge.

* Before registering for your first symposium you need to contact your Deanery to indicate your intention to attend a symposium under the block grant scheme. Your Deanery will issue you with an Application I.D. that you will need to enter into the booking form. Please have this number ready before completing the booking form.

* You can use the same Application I.D. for all symposia you attend that academic year.

* Please also remember to sign the relevant list on the day of the event.

* The following events are eligible for inclusion under the block grant arrangement for the 2011/2012 session. Additional events may be programmed during the session. Please follow the links for further programme details and registration forms.
