Call for Abstracts Now Open

Deadline 26 September 2008 - 5pm GMT

You are invited to submit an abstract to be considered for presentation at the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Health Care which will take place in Berlin, Germany from 17-20 March 2009.

This is a particularly exciting year for potential presenters. We are interested in hearing from you if you have new work with results to present or you might want to tell us about important cultural or leadership initiatives that have stimulated change (and whether that change was an improvement). Perhaps you have a new tool or method that you have employed and you want to share experiences and results?

                                                  Submit An Abstract!

The Forum is open to all, and is relevant to both beginners and those experienced in improvement work. This year we aim to be more inclusive, and to attract previously unrepresented organisations and countries. We particularly encourage submissions from those who may be first time submitters, have previously submitted unsuccessful abstracts, or are new to the quality/safety field. Detailed instructions for submission are available at MailScanner on the Clinical School IMSU email server has detected a possible fraud attempt from "email.bmjgroup.com" claiming to be internationalforum.bmj.com.

If you want to find out more about the Forum, or need some inspiration, you can view webcasts from this year's event online.

A BMJ Learning module on how to write a quality improvement abstract will soon be available online, and the August edition of Quality and Safety in Health Care will feature an online supplement of abstracts from this year's International Forum in Paris. But for now you might like to look at the presentations from the session at the Paris Forum on how to write an abstract.

In the meantime, here are five good reasons to submit an abstract:

  • Showcase your achievements to key international opinion leaders
  • Communicate your organisation's work
  • Enhance your organisation's profile
  • Network with others in your area/field
  • Share success, learn from failures

Best wishes
