PLEASE ADHERE TO THE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The word limit for abstracts is 2,500 characters or 250 words (excluding title, authors, Organisation/Institute)

When writing your abstract, please ensure to make note of the following:

  • Abstracts should be text only. Tables and images are NOT permitted.

  • REMOVE any reference to authors and institutions in the title and body of abstract

  • DO NOT mention sponsors, commercial names of medicines or products

  • We recommend that submissions are clear with subheadings (Introduction, Method, Results, Conclusion)

  • Unless using common abbreviations, include the full phrase with the abbreviation in parentheses the first time it appears

  • Please ensure anonymity is protected so that any research participants, institutions or patients are not identifiable.

Authors:

  • Ensure that the spelling is confirmed for all contributing authors.

  • Author names should be included as family name followed by given name with appropriate initial caps and separated by commas.

  • Presenter Author should appear 1st with an asterisk

Affiliations:

  • Affiliation numbers should be included even for abstracts with one or more contributors.

  • Affiliations will include the primary employer or institution names (in English, not abbreviated), and location (city, state or province, country).

  • Omit department names in affiliations (ie, school, lab, division, institute) to prevent duplication.

  • Affiliations should be numbered sequentially in the order mentioned and not duplicated, and each affiliation must be assigned to an author.

All submissions will be reviewed soon after the submission deadline. We will communicate the outcomes by email to all submitters as soon as possible when decisions have been made. We will ask for submitters to confirm any offers for presentation made. Presenting authors must register and attend the conference.
