Closing date for submissions – 27 February 2026
Read the information on this page in conjunction with the general submissions information.
About the format
Posters are visual presentations of research studies or clinical cases, and will be displayed during themed poster sessions scheduled throughout the conference. The presenter is encouraged to stand by their poster and be available for discussion during the refreshment breaks while their poster is on display. Poster displays are arranged and scheduled so that they can be attended by everyone at the conference, providing an opportunity to present research or a clinical case to the widest possible audience. For this reason, this presentation format provides the greatest opportunity for in-depth discussion; delegates, often including experts in the area, will often seek out the posters falling in their area of interest precisely because they offer the chance to meet the presenter and discuss the work in detail. The visual presentation format of the posters also offers many opportunities for innovation, for example via the inclusion of QR codes or links to additional information, videos, or more, and wide dissemination via sharing on e.g. social media. Posters are popular with presenters across the whole range of experience including students and early-career researchers or clinicians, experts by experience, and recognised leaders in a particular field. In addition to completed research studies or clinical cases we will also consider posters reporting on studies currently in progress or study protocols. Posters will also be displayed online within the online conference platform. This means that if you are attending the conference online only it is possible to submit an electronic poster for online display.
Submission instructions
Posters require an abstract up to a maximum of 1,500 characters. For research posters we strongly suggest a structured abstract using the following sections (although we realise this is not always appropriate):
- Introduction
- Method
- Results
- Discussion
For case report posters we suggest the following sections:
- Presenting Problem
- Case Conceptualisation and Intervention
- Outcome
- Review and Evaluation
Clear reference must be made to the relevant underpinning empirical and theoretical bases and include all four sections. If the poster includes a study for which there is information publicly available such as published paper, pre-registration or protocol it can be very helpful to include one key reference and a link in the abstract to help demonstrate the quality of the submission and to help conference delegates find further information.

Technical information on how to prepare your poster will be provided with notification of acceptance. Please indicate below whether you plan to attend to present your poster in person (in which case it will also be displayed online), or whether you are submitting an e-poster for online display only.
Please note that for space and production reasons only the first three authors will appear in the conference programme. However, full authorship will appear in the abstract book up to a maximum of seven authors. If there are more than seven authors then please acknowledge this within your poster.
All identifying individual details in a case report poster must be removed or altered so as to maintain anonymity.
