Each centre will host two senior trainees for 2 full days (Monday 24 and Tuesday 25 September), which will allow them to participate in the teaching centre’s day-to-day clinical activities.
Funding
Accommodation, travel and meals will be supported by a grant of €450 for each successful applicant. Travel arrangements to the placement location (and onwards to Nice) will be the trainees’ responsibility to arrange. A programme will be provided by each centre under direct supervision of the local chair and organiser, and they will also assist in directly liaising with the trainee regarding advice about travel and local accommodation.
At the end of the 2 days, trainees will then be able to travel to Nice to attend the annual scientific meeting. We are pleased to advise that the registration rate will be discounted by 50% for any pre-congress placement trainees who attend the meeting.
