    • Oral & Poster

The Scientific Programme Committee invites you to participate in the Annual Scientific Meeting by submitting a Research Abstract for oral and poster presentations. We want to hear about research projects that explore new ideas, stimulate discussion and drive improvements in care. 

We also want to acknowledge that some efforts to improve care do not follow traditional scientific approaches. So, this year we are also introducing a new abstract category called Change Narrative. We invite you to submit an abstract for oral and poster presentations that describes your experience of trying to effect change at patient, system or service levels. For these abstracts, we wish for you to focus on what you learned and what others can take away from your attempt to effect change, rather than whether your effort or the practice change "succeeded" or "failed". These abstracts will not be judged on their scientific merit but on their educational value to ASM attendees. Traditional qualitative, implementation science or audit approaches remain appropriate for standard, research abstract submission. 

Abstracts are to adhere to the templates provided on the conference website and in the abstract submission portal. Delegates are welcome to submit multiple abstracts (for the same or different abstract categories); however, each abstract must be submitted separately. Please be sure to review all of the information and instructions regarding abstract submission prior to completing the online portal

IMPORTANT LINKS BEFORE SUBMITTING

BEFORE YOU START

  • Ensure you use one of the following browsers: INTERNET EXPLORER (v11 or newer) MOZILLA FIREFOX (v44 or newer) SAFARI (v5 or newer)

  • Mac Users: if you have trouble submitting your abstract, try submitting from a PC. If you are still have issues, please contact the secretariat.

  • Mozilla Users: the security policy in Mozilla often prevents pasting from your clipboard without using the menu commands. You can still cut and paste your abstract into the submission, but you may have to use the menu command rather than ‘control v’ shortcut.

  • Ensure your abstract text is less than 250 words for Research Abstracts and 400 words for Change Narrative Abstract as the system will not accept submissions over this limit. The word count does NOT include your title, authoring or cited references.

  • Have your abstract open on your own computer to enable you to cut and paste it into the submission system.

SUBMISSION STEPS

  5. Type or cut and paste the text of your abstract/synopsis into the relevant field. Please ensure the abstract is no more than 300 words. (Does not include title, authoring or cited references)

  6. Preview your abstract, make any changes required and finalise your submission and return to your dashboard

  7. You will receive an email confirmation that your abstract has been successfully submitted. Please check your email junk file in case it has been captured there.

  8. Should you wish to make any changes to your abstract after you have submitted it, please log onto your online registration dashboard. Click on the “View Submission” then “Preview/edit abstract”.
