  • Any healthcare professional unable to physically attend the conference in person

Conference aims:

  • Improve attendee's skills in the urgent care of frail older people
  • Inspire attendees to achieve personal excellence in the urgent healthcare of older people
  • Share focused best practice presentations and the latest research in urgent care of older people
  • Takeaway new activities and ideas to advance attendees' workplace services

How many hours of external CPD will I get?

We do not issue certificates for these activities. This counts as an unfacilitated meeting, a maximum of 5 external (category 1) credits for live streamed events per year can be claimed. An unfacilitated streamed event like this, or accessing the archived lectures, can be categorised as personal (category 3) credits.

I've registered, what happens next?

We email you 24 hours in advance of the meeting a link and password to access the livestream. You will be able to join 30 minutes before the first session starts.

We will be streaming the slides and audio, and are aiming to have a camera on the speaker. (but they can move around...) There will be gaps in the stream during the coffee breaks and during lunch. We will not be streaming the workshops, as from the nature of the workshop it's likely that much of the practical aspects won't come over well.

We do not issue certificates for live-streamed activities but RCP guidance is that you can claim a maximum of 5 external credits per year for watching unfacilitated live-streamed events. This counts as unfacilitated by the RCP. Those attending the meeting in person will be issued a CPD certificate.

The RCP have updated their policy and guidance in regards to claiming external (category 1) credits for live-streamed events. This is where an educational event is broadcast 'real time'. The guidance also applies for archived lectures which are pre-recorded and played back at the users' discretion.

You are now able to claim up to a maximum of 5 external (category 1) credits for unfacilitated streamed events or archived lectures that you view online. Any remainder can be categorised as personal (category 3) credits.
