Call for Papers

Submitting an abstract through our Call for Papers gives you the chance to showcase your work at our National Conference.

The event welcomes anyone involved in hospice, palliative and end of life care. This makes it the ideal platform for sharing your ideas and learning.

Successful applicants will display a poster or give an oral presentation at the conference. This offers many exciting opportunities. You can make new connections, find inspiration and engage with others in the sector.

Accepted abstracts are also published in an online supplement of BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care. This provides an extra opportunity to share your work. Not only that - it allows 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.
