Selection Process
Applicants will be required to complete an application form online, with the deadline for submission being 5pm on 30 April 2025.
The T&EC Day Organising Committee will subsequently review each application and select the best cases for presentation. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their submission by mid-May 2025.
The successful applicants will be expected to present a patient case and then discuss a seminal piece of evidence (publication or conference abstract) that supports a key decision in that patient’s care.
Cases will be selected for presentation for an MDT discussion that will occur during the day. You will be notified in advance if your case has been selected.
A multi-disciplinary panel will be present to participate in discussion points around the case. Each presenter will have a total of 20 minutes. They should aim to present their case and discuss supportive evidence in four slides maximum, with only one slide to include data information, and the remaining time will be left for discussion.
