PROMs Summit 2013

Call for Abstracts

14 November 2013 Hallam Conference Centre, London

Healthcare Conferences UK in association with NHS North West are pleased to announce the PROMs Summit 2013. We are opening part of the 2013 conference to abstracts; which we will assess for inclusion in the conference programme as an oral presentation or poster display.

The event has been developed following feedback from previous years and also our smaller specialty events, and is for all those with an interest in PROMs. At the 2012 event we ran streams on:

-  A beginners guide to PROMs

-  Demonstrating improvement through PROMs

-  Commissioning on the basis of PROMs results

-  Risk and Information Governance

-  PREMs

-  Specialty focus on Long Term Conditions, Muskuloskeletal and Surgical

Details of the two types of presentation are below:

Oral presentation:

Abstracts selected for oral presentation in one of the specialty streams or practical workshops. Each presenter will be allocated between 10-25 minute session followed by question and answers in the most suitable sector of the conference programme. If your abstract is selected for an oral presentation, you will receive a free delegate place at the conference.

Poster Display:

Poster presentations are visual displays of material, which will be displayed in the exhibition area throughout the conference. If your presentation is selected for a poster display, you will receive a 25% discount from the conference delegate fee.

If your abstract is selected for either presentation, it will be included in the conference handbook.

There will be a prize presentation for the best abstract/poster/presentation.

All abstracts should be emailed to using the submission form attached. Abstract guidelines are located on page 2. The deadline for submission of abstracts is Wednesday 27th March 2013 (we cannot accept any abstracts after this date).
