Abstract Submission Deadline: 15th February 2009
The Call for Abstracts is now closed. A record number of abstracts was received this year and the Committee is delighted. The results will be issued during week commencing 16th March. Please contact the Secretariat if you have not received your result by E-Mail by Friday 20th March. The full programme, including the free papers and discussed posters will be posted on the website shortly.
For this year’s Annual Scientific Meeting, we are particularly interested in abstracts being submitted which focus on our theme of Broadening Horizons. We would like to encourage discussion of areas which do not always fall within the mainstream of incontinence work. There will be themed paper sessions on neuropathy, basic sciences, motivational psychology, care of the elderly and faecal control as well as the sessions you would normally expect at the UKCS Conference.
Whether your work relates to a mainstream or an esoteric field we want UKCS 2009 in Swansea to provide an inspiring forum for discussion and learning. Papers may be either research or practice-based.
The Section of Female and Reconstructive Urology and the Association of Coloproctologists of Great Britain and Ireland have both kindly agreed to offer sponsorship to a limited number of trainees who have abstracts relevant to the two organisations accepted at UKCS 2009.
The Association of Coloproctology of GB & Ireland will cover the following for up to a maximum of 6 trainees presenting a colorectal paper:
- Registration Fee for the Conference
- Economy return travel to the Conference
Any sponsorship will be paid to the trainee post-Conference therefore the trainee must provide receipts for the Registration Fee and travel. Proof of presentation of the abstract will also be required post-Conference.
The Section of Female and Reconstructive Urology is also offering support by way of refunding the Registrations Fees of selected urology trainees who present a relevant urology paper.
The Registration Fee will be refunded back to the trainee post-Conference and therefore a copy receipt must be provided.  Proof of presentation of the abstract will also be required post-Conference.
Anyone interested in applying for one of these packages of support should CLEARLY indicate so on the covering message of their abstract submission.
The decisions as regards the support will be made as part of the Abstract Review process and the Reviewers’ decision is final.
Authors will be notified of the result of their application once all abstracts have been reviewed.
