ABSTRACTS

Abstracts for the meeting can only be submitted after a delegate pass is booked and paid for. You must be a lead or co-author to submit an abstract. You can upload your abstract immediately after paying for your pass, or at a later date up until 2359 on Monday 16 January. A link to do this will be in your registration confirmation email.

Who can submit an abstract

Only abstracts submitted by trainees or students will be invited to take part in the poster tours, platform presentations and case presentations. Please ensure your abstract is submitted by a trainee or student if you wish them to be considered for these.

Abstracts are welcome from consultants and, if accepted, you will be invited to display a poster in the poster area.

ABN Fellows are invited to submit a poster about their ABN Fellowship project.  Please select ‘ABN Fellow’ as your topic below.  This will mean all these posters will be grouped together.  These posters will not be considered for platform presentations or the case presentations.
