Update in medicine - Cardiff 2026

The Cardiff Royal College of Physicians Update in medicine is a full-day, face-to-face meeting for physicians and allied health professionals at all stages and across medical specialties. The series combines cross-specialty clinical education, best-practice updates, professional development, audience questions and networking with peers, leading physicians and senior RCP officers. It awards 6 CPD credits and does not provide online access. Published fees are £285 for consultant/SAS non-members, £125 for subscribing consultant/SAS members, £185 for non-member resident doctors and medical students, and £75 for subscribing resident doctors, FY doctors and medical students; a £75 refugee doctor rate is also listed. Lunch and refreshments are included. The event page does not publish an abstract call, poster or oral presentation competition, or submission specifications. A separate free RCP Cymru Wales resident-doctor networking session runs from 07:30 to 09:00 before the conference, is open to IMTs and specialty trainees, and requires separate registration; it includes discussion with Resident Doctor Committee representatives and networking with the RCP president and college officers.
