Preclinical students are invited to submit a 250-word abstract on the following topic:
‘Describe the most important development in medical and/or surgical science in the last 25 years’
The best abstracts will be shortlisted. The authors of these abstracts will then be contacted and asked to produce an A1 poster on your chosen topic. You will be asked to submit the poster to us by Wednesday 5th March 2008. We will print poster for you free of charge and have it ready for you on the evening of the event.

Clinical students are invited to submit a 250 word abstract on an interesting clinical case that they have seen in the previous 12 months. The case can be taken from any medical or surgical specialty.
All authors are also asked to prepare a 10 minute powerpoint presentation on their chosen topic and bring it with them on the evening itself. The best 6 abstracts, as judged by our panel of senior clinicians, including Mr Barry Paraskeva, will be asked to present their case and answer questions from both the panel and the floor.
