Here is the programme, for easy access.

At our next conference Feb 2019 we would like to showcase excellent clinical, educational, integrational and good practice initiatives in the form of oral or poster presentations. Delegates wishing to present their work this way should submit an abstract of no more than 250 words describing their work (this does not need to be structured). The scientific committee will assess the merit of these abstracts separately from the main call for papers . Abstract submissions along with title, full name and affiliation of authors should be sent to Sarah Dickinson (BPOS secretary) secretary@bpos.org by the Friday 9th November 2018 and presenters will know if they are successful by Friday 7th December 2018.

We have one PhD student bursary (for students who wish to present at the conference) and one consumer bursary available. These bursaries will cover the cost of full conference registration (both days including accommodation), conference dinner and second class travel to the conference (up to a maximum of £150).

 

For more details see the bursaries page on the website

Abstract submission ends 19th November for our conference being held on 28th February – 1st March 2019 at Double Tree Hilton Hotel, Chester
