Can we watch as a group?

It is possible to watch the presentations as a group, and we recognise the additional learning opportunities that this will provide, especially if watching as a department.

Please be aware that only the logged in delegate will be able to obtain BSE points for watching. Each delegate must be registered and must have logged in to watch any sessions they wish to claim points for.

Why will my information be passed to Medivents?

Medivents are supplying us with their services to run our virtual conference platform. Only the relevant information will be passed to them and this will be done in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Content

What types of content will be available for the virtual conference?

You'll have access to video and live content, as well as PDF resources to support your learning.

View the programme

How long will I have access to the content?

The presentations will be available on the conference platform from Monday 11 - Monday 25 October 2021. During this time, you'll be able to obtain BSE points for viewing the scheduled sessions, although once they've been published, you can watch whenever you want!

From Monday 1 November 2021, members will be able to access the presentations on our website.

How can I take study leave when the sessions are at different times?

If you're worried about study leave, please talk to whoever signs this off for you. An option could be to take two days study leave the week after the live conference (before Monday 25 October 2021) and watch all of the presentations then.

To apply for study leave I need a Microsoft Word version of the programme. How can I get this?

Please click here to access a downloadable version of the programme.

Do I have to watch the sessions live?

No, you don't - we want you to be able to watch when it works for you. However, to obtain BSE points you'll have to watch them by Monday 25 October 2021.

All you will need is your computer and a stable and reliable internet connection.

Please note that we cannot guarantee access from NHS devices due to individual organisational firewalls over which we have no control.

Will I be able to watch on a mobile device?

The conference platform is fully mobile responsive, however as you're watching presentations with detailed slides, you'll get the best experience on a larger screen.

How many BSE points will I get for attending the conference?

Each live session is worth 2 BSE category I points, for a maximum of 12 for attendance at the full virtual conference.

You can only get BSE points between Monday 11 - Monday 25 October 2021, while the content is on the virtual conference platform.

I don't collect BSE points - what are my options?

We're applying for accreditation from a number of bodies within the UK and globally, and we hope to gain recognition of the high quality education we're providing.

How do I access the additional tracks?

All of the additional tracks will be available on the conference platform for the duration of the conference. These tracks do not have BSE points allocated, however they will augment your conference learning.
