Abstracts

Abstracts for the meeting can be submitted after a delegate pass is booked and paid for. You can upload your abstract immediately after paying for your pass, or at a later date up until 2359 on Tuesday 14 January. A link to do this will be in your registration confirmation email.

Who Can Submit An Abstract ?

You must be a lead or co-author to submit an abstract.

Abstracts are welcome from consultants for platform and poster presentations, but will not be eligible for prizes, case presentation competition, or poster tours.

Please ensure your abstract is submitted by a trainee or student if you wish them to be considered for poster tours, the case presentation competition or for a prize award.

ABN Fellows are invited to submit a poster showcasing their ABN Fellowship project. Please note these abstracts will not be considered for platform presentations or the case presentations as the ABN Research Committee will be selecting fellows to present a platform.

Encore Abstracts 
Priority will be given to new material. Encore abstracts can be submitted but only if they were published after 14 July 2024. Previously published material must be declared.

It is your responsibility to obtain written consent for the use of patient data, if applicable. An example of a simple consent form can be found here. Please give a copy of the consent form to the patient(s) and keep a copy for your own records

JNNP
