We encourage submissions from a variety of health and social care settings on topics related to acquired brain injury (ABI).
We particularly encourage submissions that align with this year’s conference theme: Together We Can: Where Lived Experience and Evidence Shape Action
You may use the following structure as a guide:
- Background – What issue, challenge, or gap does your work address?
- Approach – How was the work carried out or investigated?
- Findings / Outcomes – What was discovered, achieved, or improved?
- Conclusion / Impact – Why does it matter and who benefits?
Further guidelines and info
Our conference audience includes: Health and social care professionals, Researchers and academics, Families and carers and people with lived experience of brain injury.
Please write your abstract in plain, accessible English, avoiding jargon wherever possible.
Detailed poster presentation guidance, including poster size, formatting requirements, and presentation arrangements, will be provided following acceptance.
