Rebecca Searston, Conference Manager in Postgraduate Clinical Education, joins host Pip Divall to demystify how UHL plans and delivers courses, study days and conferences—from locking in dates and venues to managing last‑minute curveballs with calm and practical checklists.

In this episode:

• Why the date is the first critical decision—before any other planning
• Choosing venues (in‑house vs external) and working with Leicester Marriott, Tigers/Devonshire Place, and Holywell Park
• The two things delegates talk about most: catering and parking—and how to get them right
• What the Conference Service can handle end‑to‑end (marketing, bookings, payments, accreditation liaison, on‑the‑day support) and typical pricing (£25 per delegate, with an introductory offer)
• Staying calm with anxious course directors, tailoring reassurance, and using robust checklists
• Upcoming example: supporting a weekend FAMUS ultrasound course at the Leicester Marriott
