Registrations

Places are allocated on a first come first served basis. Provisional bookings cannot be made. Book early to avoid disappointment. The BIR does not advise that travel or accommodation is arranged before confirmation of booking has been received.

London Meeting Fees 2011

All fees include lunch and refreshments (VAT exempt):

Regional Meeting Fees

Registration fees for regional BIR meetings vary. Please check on the relevant meeting page for further information regarding fees.

Payment

The BIR accepts credit/debit card payments, cheques made payable to 'The British Institute of Radiology' and BACs payments.

Online registrations accept credit/debit card details only. If requesting payment from a hospital/institution/company which issues cheque or BACs payments please contact the Conference Office for a registration form.

Please note that The BIR is unable to invoice. Payment must be received before a booking can be made and confirmation of registration issued.

Online Bookings

Please ensure all fields and details are completed including the financial section. Once your online booking has been submitted you will first receive a provisional email confirmation. The Conference Office will process your booking and send either a letter or email confirmation with travel details, receipt of payment and current programme. Please note, we cannot confirm your place unless payment has been successfully processed.

If you do not receive both of these confirmations within 2 weeks of registering there may be a problem with your online booking request. In this case, it is very important that you contact the Conference Office as soon as possible on + 44 (0)20 7307 1411 to ensure your your booking is processed successfully.

Cancellation Policy

Written cancellations must be received two weeks prior to the meeting date and a refund of the total fee paid less 25% administration costs will be made. No refunds can be made after this period. Substitutions can be made at any time.

Online Security

We take security very seriously and we use one of the strongest available security systems to protect your communications with us. Whenever you fill in an online form such as an event application or entry of credit card details, it is automatically protected using something called a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) between your computer and ours. SSL works in the following ways:

It prevents impersonation - you can tell that you are using a genuine SSL site by the padlock symbol at the bottom of the screen. Clicking on either the padlock or the image at the foot of each page will reveal our Registration Certificate that is issued by Thawte, a recognised and leading Internet security company.

It encrypts data - as soon as your computer has recognised our computer they encrypt all information that is passed between them. Data encryption means that no one else can read or change your information as it travels over the Internet.

It prevents scrambling - SSL uses a Message Authentication Code (MAC) to prevent anyone tampering with our Internet site. Your computer will always check this code before it takes a message from us. This means that if anyone tried to interfere with a message, your computer would not recognise the code and would alert you.
