Abstract submissions are invited from attendees of any nationality. The BPNS is a
primarily clinical meeting. BPNS presentations are usually single clinical cases of
educational value. However for this joint meeting we will accept a wider variety of
types of presentation, including a single clinical case, a case series, clinical research
or any clinical topic relating to peripheral nerve disease.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is 11 February (one month before the
meeting).
Abstracts should be submitted to the local organiser Rhys Roberts rcr20@cam.ac.uk.
Abstracts should be structured in the standard format and have a maximum 200
words. The best abstracts will be selected for oral presentation (powerpoint slides) of
15 minutes presentation plus 5 minutes discussion. Abstracts not selected for oral
presentation may be presented as a poster.
It is the strict policy of the BPNS that written consent must be given by the patient
before their case may be presented. If no consent is obtained then this case will not be
allowed to be presented. This does not apply to dead patients or to case series of three
or more patients presented in less detail. It is desirable, but not essential, to obtain
consent before submitting the abstract.
Further information, including forms for abstract and consent, is available from the
