Please note: Following discussions with the SSP Committee, it has been decided to proceed with this event in a hybrid format supported by the Suttie Centre at the University of Aberdeen. We will therefore not be using the Maryculter House Hotel for any part of the event. Local members in the Aberdeen area will be able to attend this event in person.
This event is open to all grades of medical, health care and scientific staff and to students. If you are unsure about eligibility, or the correct fee category, please contact the RCPE member of staff responsible for the event (see Fees page).
Please note that on occasion event programmes may be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.
Certificates
All relevant events will apply for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). To receive a CPD certificate delegates must have completed the online attendance register/feedback survey. The survey will close and certificates will be issued 2 weeks after the event.
Certificates cannot be issued after the survey has closed.
Location
The event is now going to be taking place in a hybrid format. Those who live locally to Aberdeen are able to attend in person to the Suttie Centre. Directions to this location can be found here: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/suttie-centre/
Photography
A professional photographer may be in attendance at this event. Photographs may be used by the SSP in digital and printed publicity material. If you do not wish to be photographed, please let a member of staff know at the registration desk.
Commercial Sponsorship
Many events are supported by commercial companies taking stand space. Health professionals and NHS managers are invited to visit the company stands during the breaks. Companies interested in sponsoring this, or other events listed on the Calendar, should contact the event Co-ordinator.
Exhibitors/sponsors play no part in the planning or delivery of the event.
