COVID-19 Regulations

• Just as COVID-19 regulations have changed many times across the world during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic to date, we cannot predict what the local regulations will be in Northern Ireland in June 2025, either for COVID-19 or any other infectious disease outbreak or public health issue. We aim for a significant infection secure event and ask that our delegates do likewise. Our priority is the safety of delegates, faculty and staff. At the time of registration opening (November 2024), all COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted in Northern Ireland.

• Although we do not know what local regulations may be in place, we reserve the right to introduce COVID-19, or other public health, safety measures, such as requirements for

  • up-to-date vaccination status (3 or more doses)
  • proof of vaccination (eg UK, EU or equivalent digital vaccination certificate)
  • daily negative lateral flow test
  • indoor wearing of face masks

• Should a new public health emergency develop (eg swine flu), we reserve the right to introduce further measures for the safety of our staff, faculty and delegates.

Livestream

• The Critical Care Reviews Meeting is a live event.

• Livestreaming is a technically challenging process. Although we use a professional AV company, highly experienced in broadcasting online, we are vulnerable to external events outside of our control, such as internet provider outage.

• Should an interruption occur in our transmission, we will address it immediately. However, our ability to correct this depends on the nature of the fault and whether it is internal to our systems or external.

• If an interruption to our transmission occurs, local recording will continue and paying virtual delegates will have access to the recording as soon as possible, hopefully later the same day.

• Registering as a paying virtual delegate hereby acknowledges these issues may occur and accepts CCR efforts to correct them.

• Should a brief interruption (minutes) in transmission occur, no refund will be offered. Should a sustained interruption (hours) occur, paying virtual delegates may seek a partial refund. Should an interruption exceed more than a full day, a full refund can be sought.
