15 Days to go Until Abstract Submission Closes!

 

We are pleased to announce that the abstract submission system for the Normal Labour and Birth Conference to be held on 17, 18 and 19 June 2019 at the Grange Hotel, Grange Over Sands, Cumbria, UK is now live! https://nbirth2019.exordo.com/

 

Please see the conference website for further details about the event https://www.uclan.ac.uk/venue-hire/normal-labour-and-birth.php  This is constantly being updated.

 

Submissions are invited for the following, and can be submitted on the online system here https://nbirth2019.exordo.com/

 

Oral Presentation

Poster Presentation

Film or video or multimedia Presentation

Symposium

Workshop

Multiple submissions

The same presenting author can submit multiple abstracts, but, if more than one is accepted, they will need to choose which to present. Only one presentation (of any type) will be programmed for any individual presenting author, to allow the opportunity for different people to present their work.  

Word count

For all abstracts except symposia, the maximum word count is 400

If you are submitting for a symposium, the maximum word count is 1000

For fairness to all, abstracts longer than these guidelines will be cut off at the word limit before being sent to the peer reviewers, so we strongly advise you to stick to the word limit!

Workshop and Seminar format

Workshops and symposia will be allocated 90 minutes total. Workshops should demonstrate how they will allocate at least half of the session for engagement/discussion

Seminar sessions must include at least 3 linked papers/presenting authors, and each paper must be separately described in the abstract, along with a rationale explaining how they are linked.

Abstract types and structure

Abstracts presenting primary research must include findings or a guarantee that findings will be available in time for the conference. 

Abstracts should not include references. Please structure abstracts presenting primary research by the following headings: 

Background; Objectives; Methods; Findings; Conclusions/implications

Abstracts presenting theory, practice, policy change, and etc. should include the following headings:

Background; Rationale for theory or policy/practice change; Description of application; Impact; Discussion

Statements to be included in all abstracts

All those submitting abstracts must complete the boxes in the submission process that relate to ethics approval and funding (specifying the source, or that these were not relevant for the submission). 

 

The deadline date for submissions is Friday 1 February 2019.
