The Virtual Vipers’ Nest is an opportunity to pitch and critique new clinical research ideas.

The evening will start with a brief overview of current projects and opportunities to get involved.

For the last 40 minutes there will be pitches of new projects for the Vipers’ and audience to question.

Abstracts for the presentations will be available in advance.

We hope the session will be engaging and informative!

When pitching an idea consider the research priorities established by the BSSH James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership and the BAPRAS Research Delphi exercise.

If your idea is early stage consider an initial literature search to ensure it has not been previously addressed.

Below is the submission form. Trial ideas should be pitched in the PICO format.

Deadline for submission is Friday 24th July at 1700. You will be notified of the result on Sunday 26th July.

The Vipers’ will award a prize for the best pitch.
