Privacy policy

The RCP maintains a secure bookings database for the organisation of its events. Information you supply on this booking form will be held by the RCP and retained to shape future events and inform you of other RCP events and services.

The RCP will share the event delegate list with other delegates and speakers attending this event, and if you have consented, the RCP will share your name, job title, specialty and trust with sponsors. The delegate list will contain your name, job title and place of work (but not your contact details). This is standard practice at RCP events.

If you are attending an event that has been jointly organised with another organisation (eg another medical royal college), in order to deliver this event, your name, job title, specialty, trust and email will be shared with the joint partners only.
