Is there parking onsite?

Yes, there is ample parking on site. Students attending from Cardiff may wish to take advantage of the free shuttle organised by CUSS.

Will refreshments be provided?

Yes, delegates attending either the morning or afternoon sessions will receive lunch. The afternoon session will conclude with a networking drinks reception.

I have submitted an abstract, can I have an oral presentation?

For the morning session, your abstracts will be considered for poster presentation only. For the afternoon session, the top scoring abstracts are selected for oral presentation at the judges discretion. Unfortunately, if your abstract did not score high enough we will be unable to offer an oral presentation.

I missed the deadline for submitting an abstract, can I still be considered?

Late abstracts will only be considered at the judges discretion. If we are able to accommodate late abstracts, you will only be considered for poster presentation.

When will I receive my certificate of attendance/presenters certificate?

We aim to send out all certificates within 2 weeks of the event. This includes presenter certificates and delegate certificates. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide personalised letters confirming presentation.

The event will consist of students' oral and poster project presentations and an opportunity for
students to network with surgical Consultants, Trainees and peers studying in Wales. Refreshments
available and the event will conclude with a free drinks networking reception.
