Our biennial Virtual Urgent Care Bootcamp returns on Saturday, September 13th, 2025.

This year, we have a keynote talk from Dr Ceri Battle, creator of the STUMBL score.  Our event also coincides with Sepsis Awareness Day, allowing us to receive contributions from the Sepsis Trust.  Other topics being covered this year include nasal fractures, AI, the disparity in women presenting with chest pain, the approach to the non-verbal child, and much more.

Join us for a day of urgent care education and discussion, all from the comfort of your own home.  Ticket holders will be able to attend live and also access recordings of talks for review for the following 3 months. 

The Bootcamp can be claimed as CPD.  The amount of time you can claim will depend on how much you watch and engage with, so we would expect you to claim the appropriate amount within UCCIS. 

Please note that the College cancellation policy applies
