IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING EDUCATION POINTS

The scanning of the badges is necessary to obtain the ACPE accreditation points and certificate of attendance. Please note that hostesses will be scanning badges at the end of each session only. Entrance to all sessions will not be permitted from 30 minutes before the ending of the session. It is the participants’ responsibility to be sure badges are scanned as changes will not be made after the Congress.

Participants are invited to fill in the Evaluation Forms in order to receive their ACPE accreditation certificate and Certificate of attendance. Please be reminded that you will only be able to download the certificate after the Congress.

The ACPE Certificate and the Certificate of attendance will only be provided to participants who have evaluated the sessions attended during the congress. Please complete the evaluation forms after each session you have attended through the EAHP Congress portal accessible from the EAHP website.

The EAHP team will send an email when the link to download the certificates is active. The personal logon code from your badge will be required to print the certificates. Please note that participants will have up to 60 days after the date of live activity to fill in these evaluation forms and claim their certificates

DATA RETRIEVAL AND PROTECTION

EAHP will also scan participants at the end of each accredited session for the only purpose of providing your ACPE educational points. This data will not be used for marketing purposes. Neither the congress organizer nor the provider of the scanners can be held liable for incorrect data.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your Personal Data at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Please let us know prior to the beginning of the congress, by sending an email to privacy[at]eahp[dot]eu with the following subject: “Data retrieval consent withdrawn”. Should you decide to do this, please note that this also automatically deletes the data used by EAHP to give you the ACPE credits. Therefore, you will not be able to receive your ACPE certificate and certificate of attendance.
