Hello Mathew,
The Publication Types in Embase on HDAS include Conference Abstract,
Conference Paper and Conference Review.
(Under Limits : Article Type.)
Don't know how many of the paragraph-long abstracts from conferences
they would index though.

Subject: How do I search for research presented at conferences?
Hello everyone
One our hospital consultants asked me if we have access to PapersFirst
or ProceedingsFirst which (as I have just learned) are databases
containing records of conference/symposium abstracts and the like.
Since we don't subscribe to either I will have to reply in the negative,
but before I do I wondered if there are any alternatives available to
us?
Are there any databases (available freely or as part of the NHS Core
Content) that can be used to search for conference abstracts? I know
that the databases in HDAS contain some conference abstracts (but I
assume not very many).
Many thanks
