How workshop listings work
Our workshop listings are there to help South African renal-care teams see the key facts quickly before they decide to attend. Each listing points you to the organiser for booking, while we keep the calendar clear, practical and easy to scan.
What you will see on a workshop listing
Each workshop entry is set out to give nurses, technicians, unit managers and doctors the basics they usually need before asking for study leave or planning travel. The aim is not to replace the organiser's own booking page, but to give a clear snapshot so teams can compare options across South Africa without opening ten tabs first.
A typical workshop listing includes the event title, the type of session, the town or city, the venue detail supplied to us, and the booking link that takes you to the organiser. We may also show short notes on who the session is aimed at, whether it is more clinical or technical in focus, and whether it appears suitable for a half day, full day or longer format if that information is provided. If details are limited, we keep the listing factual rather than guessing.
- Workshop title and category
- Town, province and venue details supplied by the organiser
- Intended audience such as nursing staff, technical staff or mixed renal teams
- Short summary of the topic or training focus
- Booking link to the organiser
- Any attendance notes given to us, such as what to bring or whether spaces are limited
How the listing process works step by step
We do not run the workshops ourselves and we do not take bookings on behalf of organisers. Our role is to publish a useful calendar listing so renal-care teams can find relevant training options in one place. When a workshop is submitted for inclusion, we review the information provided and format it to match the rest of the calendar.
The process is simple. First, the organiser sends through the event information using our contact page. Next, we check that the details are clear enough to publish and that the event fits the scope of the renal-care calendar. If anything important is missing, we ask for the missing detail before the listing goes live. Once complete, the workshop is added under the relevant section and linked to the organiser's own booking route.
- Submission received through the contact page
- Basic review for relevance and clarity
- Follow-up request if key details are missing
- Formatting into the workshop calendar structure
- Publishing with venue details and a booking link
- Reasonable updates if the organiser sends a correction
This keeps the calendar useful for teams in Bloemfontein and elsewhere who need a straightforward reference point not a long sales pitch.
What organisers need to prepare before submitting
The quality of a listing depends on the quality of the information sent to us. Clear, complete details help us publish faster and reduce the back and forth. If a venue has strict access rules, parking limits or sign-in requirements, that should be included from the start. For out-of-town attendees this matters just as much as the workshop topic.
Before submitting, organisers should prepare a concise workshop summary, location information, and the exact booking destination they want attendees to use. If the event is intended mainly for technicians, or mainly for nursing teams, say so plainly. If the session is practical and places are capped that should be stated too, otherwise teams may assume there is broad availability.
- Final event title
- Workshop summary in plain language
- Town, suburb and venue detail
- Intended audience
- Booking link used by the organiser
- Attendance notes, access instructions or preparation items if relevant
We may tidy wording for consistency, but we do not create missing facts. If something has not been supplied, it may be left off the listing until confirmed.
How pricing for listings is worked out
Pricing for a listing is considered in general terms based on the amount of information involved, the placement needed, and whether there are updates after first publication. We keep this straightforward. A simple listing with standard details is not treated the same way as a listing that needs repeated changes, extra formatting attention or broader placement across related sections.
We are referring here to the cost of publishing a listing on the calendar, not the attendance fee for the workshop itself. Any workshop attendance charges are set by the organiser and handled on their side through their own booking process. We do not quote or collect workshop booking fees for them.
If an organiser wants to understand likely listing costs or submission requirements, they can use the enquiry form on our contact page. That way we can look at the scope properly before anything is published. It keeps things clear for everyone and avoids assumptions.
What happens after a listing is published
Once a workshop is live, the listing remains a reference point for attendees until it is updated or removed. If the organiser needs a correction to the venue wording, booking link or audience note, they can send the revised information through the contact page. We can then update the listing within normal publishing timeframes. Small corrections are common, specially when venue instructions change close to the event.
We also encourage organisers to tell us promptly if a workshop is full, postponed or no longer open for booking. That helps protect the calendar from stale information and saves renal teams time. For attendees, the best next step after finding a workshop is always to read the organiser's own booking page carefully and keep a copy of their confirmation.
- Corrections can be requested after publication
- Status changes should be sent through as soon as possible
- Booking questions must go to the organiser, not to us
- Attendees should keep the organiser's confirmation and venue instructions
How to use listings when planning attendance
For unit managers and team leads, a workshop listing is often the starting point for planning cover, transport and budget. A quick read should tell you whether the session suits your staff mix and whether travel is realistic from your base. A team in Bloemfontein may decide differently from a team near the coast, where travel time and overnight stays can affect rotas and cost.
Use the listing to shortlist suitable options first. Then open the organiser's booking page to confirm the fine detail, especially venue access, session timing, and anything participants must bring. If your team keeps CPD records, save the event information early so there is less chasing later. A little prep up front makes workshop attendance easier and cuts down on admin afterwards.
Our role is to make that first screening step simpler: one calendar, clear categories, venue information, and a direct route to the organiser for the actual booking.

Questions we get asked
Do you take bookings for the workshops?
No. We publish the listing and link you to the organiser, who handles bookings and attendance queries.
Can a workshop listing be updated after it is published?
Yes. If the organiser sends corrected venue details, a revised booking link or a status change, we can update the listing.
What should an organiser send for a workshop listing?
At minimum, send the workshop title, a short summary, the town and venue details, intended audience, and the booking link to the organiser.
