The College has either cancelled or postponed any event taking place from 16 March to 31 May. The majority of our events have been cancelled, but at the moment we are making arrangements to reschedule the National Trainees Conference, Bristol and Northern Professional Development Conference, Manchester to 2021. The RCOG World Congress 2020 in Oman has already been postponed to January 2021.
We are closely monitoring the situation with the current global outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and its impact on our events. We are currently proceeding cautiously with all events from June onwards but will be reviewing these in the coming months as the situation with the virus and its impact develops.
At the moment, anything that is advertised as cancelled is not planned to be rescheduled for 2020 because we are unsure of how long the impact of the virus will last. If this changes, we will contact all the delegates booked on the cancelled event to let them know. It is likely that all cancelled events will be held again in 2021 but we have yet to confirm dates. When new dates are available then we will contact all delegates from the cancelled event.
Yes, if we cancel the event then you will receive a full refund. Your refund will be processed automatically via your method of original payment within four weeks. We will be in touch if we require any further information.
Yes, if you would like to transfer your fees to the course next year or any other event in the next 18 months then please respond to our email notifying you of the cancellation of the event to let us know which course you would like to transfer your fees to.
We are in discussion with the Specialty Education Advisory Committee to minimise the impact of doctors coming to completion of their ATSM and not having attended the relevant course. We will be following HEE and AoMRC guidance as it develops to mitigate against any negative impact on trainees’ progression through their training programme.
