CALL FOR ABSTRACTS – PRIZES FOR BEST ORAL AND POSTERS SELECTED
Dear Orthopaedic, Plastic Surgery, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases colleagues
The 5th Annual Oxford Bone Infection Conference represents a superb opportunity to communicate with and
to learn from colleagues who manage bone and joint infections.
The aim of this meeting is to educate but also to share ideas and stimulate discussion. This we hope will
improve clinical practice and encourage research to strengthen the evidence base in this field.
We need you to share your ideas, research and clinical findings and present these to your peers
either as a selected oral presentation or selected poster. These can be any projects related to the field of
bone and joint infection whether lab based or clinical.
We are asking for challenging cases to be submitted to be presented for panel and interactive audience
discussion during the conference. These can also be submitted in abstract form with a view to providing
slides later.
So please submit the best and most thought-provoking abstracts you can muster - the team at OBIC will be
very pleased to receive them.
There will be prizes for the best poster and oral presentations.
Dr Elham Khatamzas and Dr Matt Scarborough, OBIC Organising Committee

Click on “Submit Your Abstract”
Register with the abstract administration system
Submit your abstract, ensuring that all fields are completed accurately (main body of abstract limited to
250 words maximum)
Free papers:
Abstracts should state briefly and clearly the purpose, methods, results and conclusions of the work.
These will be selected for oral or poster presentations
Clinical case presentations:
Abstracts should be clinical cases that provide challenging diagnostic and/or management issues. The
presentations will be discussed in an interactive way with both panel and audience. Presentations should be
succinct and highlight 1 or 2 management issues. These do not have to be exotic or rare, just challenging
and possibly controversial. The clinical question(s) should be clear. If selected for presentation, results of
radiological and other investigations should be relevant, concise and complete. The organising committee
reserves the right (for timing reasons) to arrange an independent presenter depending on the number and
nature of submissions.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is 5 pm, Friday 16 th January 2015.
You will be notified if your abstract has been selected by Friday 20th February 2015.
Oral and Poster presentation prizes will be announced at the end of Day 2.
