In 2023, BAPO is running regional events instead of a national conference. The theme of the regional events is “The 4 pillars of prosthetic/orthotic practice”.
Free papers may be about a clinical audit, service improvement, clinical or technical quality improvement, case study, technical note or research study.
We encourage prosthetists, orthotists, technicians, support workers, managers, researchers and students to submit an abstract for a 12-minute presentation about their practice in one or more of the 4 pillars of practice:
- Clinical and Technical Practice
- Leadership and Management
- Education / Facilitating Learning
- Evidence, Research and Development
Further information:
- Each presentation will be for 15 minutes (12 minutes presentation plus 3 minutes questions/answers).
- All submissions will be reviewed by a working group of the Education Committee which reserves the right to accept or reject the application.
- All submissions will receive a written acceptance or reason for not being included in the 2023 regional event.
- We recognise and value the amount and depth of work which goes into preparing a submission. We want to encourage submissions, which if not accepted for this year may be reconfigured for other events.
- Submission deadline for free paper abstracts closes Friday 19 May 2023 at 5pm.
- Free paper speakers to be notified by Friday 26 May 2023
To submit your Abstract, please complete the MSForm template. If you have any questions, please email enquiries@bapo.com
