PROGRAMME

Content should include perspectives from a variety of professions and/or patients, and be novel and educational.

Don’t try and cram too much into a session – be realistic about how long your speakers need to cover their topic, and give time for audience interaction. In a 90 minute session, we recommend 3 speakers for 15 - 20 mins each and time for Q&A.

The programme committee will review your proposal, and if the session is included in the programme, a committee member will be in touch to discuss the proposal and the next steps by the end of November. They may have suggestions on the proposed content or speakers, and if a proposal is similar to another one submitted, they may suggest merging the sessions. They will then keep in touch as you develop the session and invite speakers.

We usually receive more proposals than there is space in the programme so it’s possible your proposal may be rejected.
