Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words (including numbers, symbols, tables and references) and you must select one category from the list below. The use of figures or photographs is not permitted.
The use of tables and references is permitted but please note that these will be included in your word count.
You should make sure that your results section contains data wherever possible.
Abstracts must be submitted using our online submission system, Oxford Abstracts. Please note that you will need to register and create an account on this site before submitting an abstract for the first time.
Abstracts are accepted on the understanding that at least one author will register and attend SfE BES 2026. Any author failing to present an accepted abstract at the Conference will automatically be excluded from submitting any future abstracts.
The Programme Committee reserves the right of the final decision regarding acceptance of abstracts and the form of presentation.
Abstracts are marked blind (anonymously). Please note that the reviewing panel for abstracts submitted to the Nursing Practice category predominantly includes nurses.
Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors in mid-November 2025, ahead of the early bird registration deadline.
Detailed instructions and guidelines for creating presentations and posters will be emailed to qualifying authors shortly afterwards.
Please note that accepted printed posters must be displayed in portrait (or vertical) orientation, and must be a maximum of 140cm x 90cm in size.
