Application guidelines

Trainees and students are invited to submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. Submissions will be considered for both oral and poster presentations.

We welcome abstracts based on audits, quality improvement projects or prototypes of new devices or software that may be useful in patient safety. Each submission should define a problem in the hospital or community setting related to patient safety and describe how a solution clearly addresses this problem.

Abstracts that rate highly on originality, clarity, show significant improvement in patient safety and impact at a national or international level, will have a higher likelihood of selection for oral presentations

The presentations must be given by the submitting trainee or student. Please ensure before submitting your abstract that you have registered to attend the event and will be free to present at the virtual meeting on Friday 10 December 2021. Book your place here.
