Abstract Submission

  1. The abstracts will be judged by members of the Scientific Committee and are assessed without knowledge of the authors or institutions. Assessment is helped enormously by clarity of thought in the abstract.
  2. Abstracts that do not conform to these guidelines will not be considered and will be returned to the sender to be resubmitted for presentation following amendments. The co-organisers and secretariat cannot be held responsible should the individual subsequently fail to meet the submission deadline.
  3. The work to be presented must be original and unpublished and should not have been presented at a national or international meeting. Encore abstracts can be submitted but must adhere to the following: the encore title and text of the abstract differ from previous versions and the original prior publication is declared.

Prizes & Publication

Prizes will be awarded for the best oral and poster presentations.

Abstracts accepted by the Scientific Committee for oral and poster presentation will be published in the British Journal of Dermatology.
