Poster competition 

There will be a poster prize awarded on 27 November, courtesy of BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care - an official journal of Hospice UK. 

The poster prize will be judged by a Hospice UK panel who will consider content, design, and innovation. 

If you have accepted an invitation to give an oral presentation, the team will be in touch with you to confirm the date and time of your slot within the conference programme. 

Accepted abstracts are published in an online supplement of BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care. This provides an extra opportunity to share your work. Not only that - it also helps those interested in your work to get in touch or further build on what you have documented. 

Any abstract you submit must be original. We cannot consider abstracts about work that has been presented or published in any form elsewhere.   

In submitting an abstract, you, and any other authors of the abstract, agree to Hospice UK’s terms and conditions. You also agree to the terms and conditions of BMJ’s standard licence to publish for abstracts. 

By submitting an abstract to be reviewed, the author(s) are indicating that at least one of them will attend the conference to present the work. Any authors attending will have to pay the delegate registration fee by the required date (1 August 2025).   

If you have any questions about accepting your invitation, how to present your work or attending National Conference, please contact us.
