Deadline for submission February 16. 13:00 h (GMT)
We kindly invite you to submit abstracts for the Symposium in Birmingham. Whether your research is just beginning or well advanced: this is a unique opportunity to present it!
The techniques for breathing management are well established in other fields but new to this clinical application. As a result, they can lead to unexpected challenges and innovative solutions. Therefore, we certainly welcome abstracts from studies at an early stage. If you are in the process of planning to introduce non-invasive mechanical ventilation, CPAP, or any other form of breathing management, we strongly encourage you to share your experience. For our community, it is extremely valuable to learn how you are addressing organisational, practical and legal challenges.
We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain constructive feedback from a knowledgeable and dedicated audience. At the same time, grow your network and get involved in exciting new collaborations. Submitted abstracts will be considered for the “Michael Parkes award”. Submit your abstract and compete for the €2,500 prize awarded to the best abstract/presentation during the symposium!
Further information:
- Abstract templates are available for download here. The template contains detailed instructions.
- Topics should be related to breathing management, e.g. non-invasive mechanical ventilation, percussive ventilation, breath-hold, supplemental oxygen.
- Your contribution might also comprise combinations of such breathing management strategies with “more established” techniques e.g. beam gating, tracking and/or abdominal compression.
- If the work has been published (or has been published partly), please include the reference(s).
- Focus should be on radiotherapy and/or imaging.
- Abstracts will be evaluated and ranked by the scientific committee.
- If the abstract meets the required quality, novelty, and relevance for the symposium, the presenting author will be invited to present the work during the Symposium.
- Presentation time will range from 4 to 10 minutes, based on the ranking.
