Delegate cancellation - Medical
The health and safety of Conference attendees is our highest priority. The FCAP is mindful of the health risks posed by COVID-19, and the importance of both adhering to best practice health and safety practices and following official medical advice with respect to social distancing, practicing good hygiene and staying at home when unwell. The FCAP requests that any delegate who is feeling unwell or has cold or flu like symptoms, or who may have been in contact with someone with COVID-19, not attend the Conference. If, on medical grounds, you are unable to attend the Conference, you must cancel your in-person attendance in writing by email to the Conference Office. A full refund may be provided at the discretion of the FCAP, however you may be asked to provide additional details.
If, on medical grounds, you are unable to attend the conference, you must contact the PIF Team in writing by email to pif@ranzcp.org.
