Frequently asked questions

If I cannot attend the event, can I transfer the registration to my friend / colleague?

Course registration is not transferable, unless approved by the Event Secretary

Can I cancel the registration anytime?

Cancellation by Registrant prior to the start of the course will attract the following administration fees (as % of total purchase fees) regardless of reasons: 

  • more than 8 weeks prior: 5%; 
  • 4 to 8 weeks prior: 20%; 
  • 2 to 4 weeks prior: 70%; 
  • less than 2 weeks prior: 80%; 
  • or no show: 100% (no refund).

What if the organiser cancels the event?

The Organiser reserves the right to cancel or postpone the course due to natural disaster, pandemic, not enough participants, or other unforeseeable circumstances. If a course is cancelled by the Organiser, full (100%) refund will be returned to the Registrant. If the course is postponed, the Registrant can either seek a full refund or attend the course on the new date(s). Please note that while we try our best to announce any cancellation or postponement at least 20 days prior to course, this cannot be guaranteed in unforeseen circumstances. 

You are responsible for any travel arrangements.  The organiser is not responsible for the costs of your travel arrangement as a result of cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances.  It is best to write to the event secretary about 3-4 weeks before the course to confirm if you are not certain.

Do I need to show proof that I attended a basic critical care echo course and have done at least 30 TTE before registering for PIE?

No, you do not have to show proof.

Do I need to purchase the Oxford Textbook of Advanced Critical Care Echocardiography for the PIE and the advanced courses?

You do not need to (optiional).  If you want to have only one book that covers Doppler and haemodynamics principles, and cardiac mechanics for echocardiography, you may find this book suits you.  This book is great for reviewing concepts both before and after the workshop.
