Dedicated registration URL

What the labels meanUseful certainty.
Useful certainty.
Honest gaps.
A listing can be complete as a directory record even when an organiser has not published every commercial or contact detail.
Source-linked
An organiser page, official brochure, or authoritative society calendar supports the course identity and key facts.
Checked date
The latest date on which the directory record was compared with its cited official source.
Not published
The organiser’s accessible source did not provide that detail. It is deliberately left unresolved rather than inferred.
Check organiser
A current seat or registration state was not explicit enough to label as available, limited, or closed.
Registration signal
Current directory status.
Categories are derived from event dates and the latest published registration wording. They are decision support—not a substitute for the organiser’s live system.

Data quality FAQWhat surgeons
What surgeons
should know.
What does source-linked mean?+
The listing includes a link to an organiser-owned page, official course document, or authoritative professional-society calendar used for the summary.
Why is a fee sometimes missing?+
Some organisers do not publish fees publicly, publish them only inside a registration portal, or have not released the current rate. The directory labels that gap instead of estimating a price.
Does a verification date guarantee availability?+
No. It records the directory’s latest source check. Seats, rates, programmes, and deadlines can change after that check, so final confirmation remains with the organiser.
Can an organiser correct a listing?+
Yes. Organisers can submit the official source through the course submission form and identify the change that needs review.
