REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
Course fees range from £180 for one day NLS, through £340 for two day EPALS and £700 for a three day ATLS. These are internal candidate prices and subject to review every year
Reserves policy
Reserves are held in case of course cancellations, where payment has not yet been refunded to the charity within that financial year, or here courses cannot be held, i.e during a pandemic.
Going concern
The ATLS charity has been going since 1998 and has continued to grow/develop ever since. The need for such medical education courses is highly unlikely to diminish.
FUTURE PLANS
With changes in medical education and training the original purpose of the QCCS is no longer required. This is compounded by lack of regular donations and few requests for bursaries and therefore after much discussion the Trustees have decided to close this part of the charity. When QCCS was set up, in the original governing document ATLS was a subsidiary arm to the QCCS and as this part of the charity continues to deliver ATLS associated courses and therefore they will continue to run the ACCS (Trust) charity. The remaining trustee's, with the exception of two trustees who offered their resignation which was accepted by the Chair. The Chair wished to formally ,minute her thanks to the trustees over the years and the support that they have given to medical education at QEQM proposal.
QCCS in its current form will cease to exist and from 1 July 2022 the ATLS section will run as an independent Charity under name of Queens Centre for Clinical Studies.
Proposer Miss Sharp Seconder Ms Jeff
Proposal agreed unanimously.
The time frames slipped and the ATLS subsidiary took over the running of the QCCS Trust Charity on the 18/01/2023 with the appointment of a new Chair and Trustees.
Any remaining funds in the QCCS part of the charity will be donated to ATLS East Kent.
