The 2021 Urgent Care Bootcamp and Fellowship dinner will be held at the Rydges, Latimer Square, Christchurch, on September 18 and 19. There'll also be workshops on Friday (17 September) afternoon.

Those who have achieved Fellowship within the last two years and who are being presented with their certificate will receive a complimentary ticket for the dinner.

We're looking for presenters for the Saturday Bootcamp. Now is your opportunity to share your experiences and present to the urgent care family. Talks should be 15 minutes, and deliver vital teaching points relevant to urgent care. Presenters will receive complimentary tickets for the Saturday Bootcamp and Sunday presentations and may claim up to 6 hours of CPD for preparation.

If you wish to volunteer, please complete the application form. You can volunteer more than one talk if you like. Once we have received all applications, we will notify you if your proposed talk has been accepted.
