ORAL AND POSTER PRESENTATIONS
We invite abstracts for three types of presentation:
RESEARCH PAPERS – This may include original clinical, nursing, scientific or education research that has not been published in a national journal and which is relevant to the field of paediatric intensive care. Abstracts previously presented at a regional or international meeting will be considered. A selection of abstracts from the best research papers will be published in a journal.
INNOVATIONS & GOOD PRACTICE – These papers report innovative technology, teaching methods and examples of good clinical practice.
WORK IN PROGRESS – These are more open submissions in which projects or ideas can be presented and discussed with the audience.
For inclusion in the Conference proceedings please bear in mind the following:
- Abstracts for submission must be typed and sent online via the website.
- Please complete the title in upper case.
- Capitalise the name of the presenting author.
- Leave a blank line between the authors’ addresses and the body of the text
- Author names and addresses should be in lower case
- There is no requirement for indentation or line spacing between paragraphs.
- All fields must be completed.
- A simple data table may be included. This can be uploaded as a image file. Do not include photographs in your abstract.
Abstracts are limited to one page (500 words or 300 words with a graph, table or, not including author names and affiliations).
Research abstracts should consist of five sections, namely:
- Introduction
- Methods
- Results
- Discussion/Conclusions
- References (excluded from word count)
Non-research abstracts should consist of four sections, namely:
- Introduction & rationale for innovation/good practice
- Outline of innovation/good practice
- Outcomes/discussion/conclusions

GENERAL INFORMATION
ORAL PRESENTATION: Depending on the timetable, approximately ten minutes will be allocated for each successful oral presentation, followed by a short discussion. A computer with data projector will be available in each room. Main presenters should bring their presentation on a memory stick or CD. Presenters need to load their presentation on the PC of the appropriate room during the break before their session, or earlier.
We strongly recommend that presentations are saved in the Microsoft Office 2003 format to prevent any compatibility problem.
POSTER PRESENTATION: Posters will be displayed throughout the conference at a central location during the conference. Posters must be Portrait, no larger than A0 (1189 x 841mm) in size and use text, pictures and graphics as appropriate. Authors will be responsible for attaching their poster on the display board they have been assigned.
The Scientific Program Committee may reassign oral presentations to poster presentations, or vice versa, based on scientific merit and preference indicated by the authors.
Potential conflict of interest should be indicated on the abstract form, and presented in detail in the communication during the conference. |
