Trials Day 2023

Have an idea for a project?

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.

Want to showcase your work?

The posters can be for either new trial ideas or updates on live projects. We welcome all work on trials

Is your idea specialty specific?

We welcome all ideas but are keen to see specialised work in Plastic surgery, Orthoplastics, Orthopaedics or Burns.

Pitch your idea

The Vipers’ Nest has four 15 minute slots for oral presentations of new project ideas.

Opportunity for everyone

All abstracts will be considered for the Vipers’ Nest unless you request otherwise. The four best posters will be selected by the panel on the day to deliver a 6 minute oral presentation with no slides.
