Call for Abstracts
Our first regional conference for 2025 will be held at Kilhey Court Chorley Road, Standish Nr Wigan, WN1 2XN. You can find information regarding the hotel here: https://www.macdonaldhotels.co.uk/kilhey-court
We encourage prosthetists, orthotists, technicians, support workers, managers, researchers, educators, and learners to submit an abstract for a 15-minute oral presentation or a poster about any aspect relating to The Four Pillars of Practice (Leadership and Management, Education/Facilitating Learning, Evidence, Research and Development, and, Clinical and Technical Practice)
The Four Pillars of Practice are not used in silo, therefore it is strongly encouraged for abstracts to identify how one or more of the Pillars of Practice have been utilised.
Please select whether you would like to submit your abstract as an oral presentation or a poster and use the abstract template shown below to write your abstract.
If you are selected for a poster presentation, BAPO will provide you with an optional poster template for you to use and a guide on presenting posters at conferences.
Please note:
- The time limit for an oral presentation is 15 minutes. A 5-minute maximum Q & A session will be allowed following the presentation
- All submissions will be reviewed by a panel and we reserve the right to select the application based on pre-approved criteria.
- We recognise and value the amount of work that goes into preparing an abstract submission and we are keen to encourage as many submissions as possible, which if not accepted, may be reconfigured for a future event, similarly if you have submitted an abstract for an oral presentation, you may be offered the opportunity to present your work as a poster.
- If you choose to submit an abstract for a poster presentation you will be required to print and supply your A1 poster for the conference. You will be required to stand by your poster to answer questions during the designated poster session.
- There will be an award of £200 for the best oral presentation and £100 for the best poster.
