The Scientific Program Committee (SPC) and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) invites the submission of abstracts on original work. Abstracts can be submitted for consideration for an oral or a poster presentation You will be asked to identify all co-authors, but the presenting author should submit the abstract. Presenting authors must be paid registrants at the ASM. All abstracts must be submitted online via the conference website using the online submission form/portal.
The SPC have agreed that abstracts published as a digital presentation as part of APS 2020, can be resubmitted for inclusion in the APS 2021 program.
COVID-19 Statement The Australian Pain Society is 100% committed to bringing you a conference in 2021.
We are currently working towards a hybrid format in order to give delegates the opportunity to meet in either the traditional face to face setting, or via an online platform.
We are also developing a virtual program so that we are prepared, should it be necessary to convert to a fully online platform.
Generally speaking, the APS expects all presenters to attend the conference and present in person. Should this not be possible in 2021 due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions, the APS will work with presenters to convert their presentation to be streamed via an online platform.
No matter the format, we will make sure all delegates have an opportunity to network, collaborate and learn.
Please submit your valuable contributions with full confidence that the APS will do whatever needs to be done in order to deliver the ASM in the safest possible way in April 2021. |
