CALL FOR ABSTRACTS



As part of the 3rd annual primary care ethics conference: Primary care ethics - the ordinary and the extraordinary there will be a session at which participants can present their work and ideas in the form of a poster. Posters may deal with any issues within the field of primary care ethics. They may focus on clinical practice, on teaching and personal development, or on research (e.g. humanities, empirical or philosophical) within this field. Posters on undramatic issues of values and moral choices common in primary care but which normally receive little attention in the medical ethics literature are particularly welcome. Posters on other aspects of the philosophy of medicine relevant to primary care such as epistemology and ontology are also welcome.



Abstracts should be no more than 300 words, outlining the nature and purpose of poster presentations. Abstracts should include the title of the poster, the names of presenting and other authors, and their professional role and affiliation. They do not have to follow the traditional format of introduction, method, results, conclusions, but they should however be clearly structured and make clear the issue or issues which will considered, the approach to be taken, and the conclusions drawn from its study.

Posters should be no bigger than A1 in size. It is encouraged that posters are professionally printed and in colour where appropriate. Those presenting posters must be available on Wednesday 20 February 2013 and asked to ensure that their posters are in place by 12.30 pm. Presenters are asked to be near their poster to be able discuss their poster with participants for at least half of this period.
