The key aim of the CPDConference.org project is to share learning opportunities, research, ideas, projects and professional developments across the International Healthcare Community.

Unlike journals and other publication media, CPDConference.org permits authors to maintain their ownership of the intellectual property and copyright in the CPD activities they submit. By submitting their work to CPDConference.org authors and co-authors permit their CPD materials to be published on the CPDConference.org website and reproduced within our associated publications.

To ensure the continuation of this project, users wishing to gain access to some CPD activities will have to pay a small charge to cover the production and distribution costs for the learning activities and the CPD certificates. Royalty considerations will therefore be available to authors, which may be accepted or allocated at their discretion. All previously published or presented articles and presentations are welcome but it is the author's responsibility to obtain any necessary permissions. To qualify for royalty considerations, authors are required to accept an undertaking not to republish the submitted work in any commercial forum or publication without first notifying CPDConference.org.

To achieve our aim of affordable professional development and free access to the main Conference facilities we are actively seeking appropriate sponsorship and advertising. Kosmos Software Ltd. reserves the right to refuse any sponsorship or advertising including printed and web-media for any reason.

All sponsorship or advertisements are subject to review and approval by the Principal Conference Committee (PCC). Kosmos Software Ltd also reserves the right at any time to discontinue the posting of any sponsorship or advertisements, even if they were approved previously, if the PCC believes they are not in keeping with the Conference standards. Sponsors or advertisers may be requested to submit evidence and documentation to substantiate claims.

A complaint of any relevant nature may be registered by using any of the contact points listed on this page. We promise to acknowledge your complaint and will endeavour to respond fully within 5 working days.
