Abstract submissions

We want to continue to encourage high quality research and educational papers and support the many healthcare professionals who want to improve clinical practice and share implementation of innovation. We especially welcome first time presenters.

For the chance to present your work as a poster or oral presentation, you need to submit an abstract to the conference organising committee. An abstract is designed to give the reviewers a brief synopsis of your poster or presentation so they can assess suitability for the conference.

The abstract must be submitted by the given deadline, Friday 31 January 2025

Occasionally, and upon discretion of the committee, submissions may be accepted after the deadline. Your submission will be reviewed by a member of the executive committee and if successful, you will be invited to attend the conference as an oral or poster presenter.
