Course dinner
There is a three-course dinner on the Saturday (7th December) in the Jeremy Bentham Room at University College London from 7pm. All delegates are Strongly Recommended to attend the meal, which will also be attended by faculty members. The meal is Free, but we require a refundable £25 deposit that is non refundable in the event of non-attendance. When booking on the course, you will be asked whether you plan to attend this meal.
Further information and booking
Booking on the course will be available from mid April via an online booking system(www.gastro-tastercourse.co.uk). For further information and to register your interest please email the BSG Trainees Section organising committee.
We Strongly Recommend you register your interest as soon as possible, stating your name, training level (e.g. CMT2) and your current workplace. Please note, registering an interest is not a guarantee of a place on the course, but will be used to alert you once the online booking system goes live.
We expect the course to be extremely popular so places will be given on a first come, first served basis although priority will be given to CMT doctors due to proximity to specialty training applications.
