FREE to attend for NHS, Public Sector and Charity Attendees

Please only book a place if you are able to attend on the day as this forum will not be recorded. If you book a place and your circumstances change, meaning you are unable to attend, please inform us in writing to bookings@sbk-healthcare.co.uk at least 48 hours prior to the course taking place.

Commercial companies are invited to sponsor this day, please email Vanessa Pearce for further details.

What happens once you have booked your place?

Once you have registered your place on Zoom, the bookings team here at SBK Healthcare will approve your registration within 5 working days. You will receive a formal confirmation via email once your registration is approved. 

If you do not receive an email from SBK Healthcare please email us at bookings@sbk-healthcare.co.uk or call 01732 897788.

Within one week of the online conference taking place, you will be sent final details of the course including a full agenda, programme timings and your Zoom joining instructions. This email will include a joining link that can be used to access the conference.

If you have not received your email two days before your event, do check your junk folder then contact SBK Healthcare on 01732 897788.

How this online forum will work

If you are unsure of Zoom or how to access the conference on the day, practice sessions are available. These are optional but great if you are unsure of whether your camera and microphone will work on Zoom. We hold several one hour practice sessions across the week when a member of SBK Healthcare staff will be waiting in Zoom to assist you, sure you are all set for the day. If you would like to request one of these practice sessions please email the bookings team.

On the day, when registration starts, you will be able to join the conference by initially entering a waiting room when there may be a short wait. In groups of between 6-10 people, you will be admitted into the main conference room to be greeted by a member of SBK staff. In the same group you will be taken into a breakout room and asked to turn on your video and microphone. A member of the SBK team will get your group started with some orientation tasks and ‘ice breaker’ topics, before leaving you to network.

When you are automatically brought back into the conference room for the start of the conference, you will be asked to turn off your camera and microphone so that the chair can start the forum. During each presentation you will be able to ask questions in the chat box function. The forum will include screen breaks, as well as topic themed interactive sessions which will take place in the breakout rooms.

Click here to view the specially created 5-minute video that will walk you through how to get the most out of attending your SBK Healthcare interactive online forum.
