Abstracts

Twelve abstracts have been shortlisted to compete for a BTS Prize. These shortlisted abstracts will be delivered as oral presentations during 2 sessions at the Summer Meeting on Thursday 9 July. The presentations will be judged on the day, and prizes will be awarded.

A number of abstracts not selected to compete for a prize have been invited to submit a digital poster, which will be displayed in the exhibition hall and on the conference app.

The Clinical Grand Round competition has been one of the highlights of the Society’s Summer Meeting programme for many years, and it remains a very closely contested event, which enhances the CV of any Specialist Trainee, nurse or AHP who is selected as a finalist.  
 
The authors of the best three submissions, as judged by members of the BTS Education and Training Committee, will be invited to present their cases during the Clinical Grand Round Symposium at the BTS Summer Meeting on Thursday 9 July. Presenters will be expected to interact with the audience by including questions within their presentations so that delegates may make use of the voting system. 

Final judging will take place after the session has ended and prizes will be awarded at a reception that evening. The winner will receive a cash prize and all three finalists will receive a certificate of merit and free entry to both days of the Summer Meeting.
