( Please note : Members of the University of Cambridge who wish to recharge their attendance fees to a General Ledger (GL) account or grant must do so using a purchase order made out to the Department of Public Health and Primary Care. Debit or credit card payments cannot be used and will not be reimbursed through expenses. University of Cambridge staff and students must therefore calculate the correct fee - based on their delegate category and any options selected - before requesting a purchase order from their department and adding the PO number at checkout.
However, if you are a member of the Department of Public Health and Primary Care, you should not request a purchase order. Instead, please enter the relevant grant or GL code for recharging directly at checkout when prompted.)
