Can my company pay for my place via invoice? If so, how do I do this?

If you would like your company to pay for your delegate place via invoice you will first need to raise a Purchase Order (PO) number with your company's Finance or Accounts Department. 

What is a purchase order?  If you’ve not arranged this before, a purchase order (PO) is a document that the buyer sends to a supplier with a request for products or services. Each PO will include a number for tracking the purchase order through the system, as well as the type of item, quantity, and agreed price. Your finance team will be able to provide this document or number to you. 

If St Andrew's Healthcare is already an approved supplier for your company, your Finance or Accounts Department will send the PO number directly to us.

If St Andrew's Healthcare is not an approved supplier for your company, you may be asked by your Finance or Accounts Department to complete a New Supplier Form.  Simply email the New Supplier Form to us at  academicdepartment@stah.org  and we will complete and return the form to you.

Please note that we cannot confirm your delegate space on the conference until we receive either a PO number or an email from your Finance or Accounts Team confirming that a PO is forthcoming and payment is guaranteed.
