Late Breaker Abstract Guidelines

If your findings were not ready for submission by the first round deadline due to incomplete data, or you have exciting new research, this is your last chance to be included in what is shaping up to be a fantastic program filled with international and local distinguished speakers, innovative research, policy, and clinical practice.

Late breaker abstract guidelines and templates are provided below. You must ensure you follow the guidelines and use the correct template in order for your abstract to be submitted for review.

Templates:

Research Abstract:

5 minutes with max 5 slides
Abstracts on original research findings, case studies, completed projects and theoretical analyses. Presentations should be well structured, rigorous, demonstrate a novel contribution to knowledge, and clearly articulate key implications for practice, policy and/or community.
Please use the Research Based Abstract Template.

Practice Based /Service Delivery Abstract:

5 minutes with max 5 slides
Abstracts analysing issues and solutions to problems in clinical practice, policy, community engagement, education, and health promotion.
Presentations should be well structured, rigorous and demonstrate a novel contribution to knowledge.
This option allows you to report on projects that are not research-driven but are critical reflections on policy and practice, including clinical practice, community engagement, education, health promotion, and service delivery. In all cases we are looking for analyses and projects that are completed and have concrete results to report.
The practice-based abstract template asks delegates to describe the analysis and arguments used, and then specify outcomes, results and implications for policy and practice. We encourage our community, nursing, policy, health promotion and other colleagues to try the template and submit abstracts.
Please use the Practice Based Abstract Template.

Poster:

Permanently displayed during the conference. Presenters must stand with their posters during the dedicated Poster Sessions.
Posters are a key component of the APSAD Conference offering an interactive platform for delegates to view and discuss achievements, ideas, and developments face-to-face.
Posters are ideal for data that works better visually, projects and research being proposed or currently in progress, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, case studies, divisional projects, or clinical topics.
All posters will be available on the conference website and in the app.
Please use either the Research Based or Practice Based Abstract Template/s.
