It is a one day meeting combining plastic surgery, hand surgery and clinical trials methodology. It is a great opportunity to learn how to develop your own idea and take it through to a definitive clinical trial. The meeting includes updates on current trials and the opportunities to get involved. For instance, the Nail bed INJury Analysis (NINJA) RCT will be recruiting units.

There is also the opportunity to pitch your own idea in the Vipers’ Nest. They are a friendly bunch of trialists and surgeons who will provide feedback. Previous winners have gone on to develop successful projects (NINJA, WIRE, MALIT etc). This year we have 6 travel bursaries of up to £100 to support delegates with trial ideas accepted for the Vipers’ Nest poster or oral session.

This year we are focusing on wound healing in the sandpit session. This will be followed later in the day with a new interactive trial development session. The best idea from the sandpit session will be worked up a panel of experts with questions from the audience. We hope this will give a real life example of how to progress your ideas.

We also have a focus on international collaboration. We will hear from GlobalSurg about how they collected data on over 27,000 patients across over 100 countries!

Don’t delay and REGISTER today! Trainees that bring a consultant, will be entered into the draw for a top of the range bluetooth speaker.

We will be in touch shortly with the results.

The Vipers’ Nest is the last session of the day. It has four 15 minute slots for oral presentations of new project ideas. There are an additional 8 poster slots. The oral and poster prize winners will receive a certificate and book prize from Oxford University Press.

The ideas might be for a package of work leading to a clinical trial or other prospective audit. Perhaps you have an idea for a systematic review, prospective audit or RCT.

The idea remains yours. The RSTN can provide advice and put you in touch with a trials unit.

Please use the PICO format for the abstract (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome).

The posters can be for either new trial ideas or updates on live projects. There is a maximum of ~250 words.

The oral and poster prize winners will receive a certificate and book prize from Oxford University Press.

We are pleased to announce that 6 bursaries of up to £100 will be available to support the travel expenses of the teams submitting successful abstracts to the Vipers’ Nest oral and poster prizes. All abstracts will automatically be considered for the bursaries.[/x_text][/x_column][/x_row][/x_section][x_section bg_color=”#f9f9f9″ id=”tdspeakers” style=”margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 20px 0px 45px 0px; “][x_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” bg_color=”” style=”margin: 0px auto 0px auto; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_column bg_color=”” type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_line][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h3″ accent=”false”]Speakers[/x_custom_headline][x_gap size=”20px”][/x_column][/x_row][x_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” bg_color=”” style=”margin: 0px auto 0px auto; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_column bg_color=”” type=”1/4″ style=”padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_image type=”circle” src=”https://reconstructivesurgerytrials.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/JaneNixon-e1493643365863.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][x_text]Prof Jane Nixon is the Deputy Director Institute Clinical Trials Research, University of Leeds.
