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
