Despite PIER 2020 moving online we are very keen to continue with the submitted abstracts part of the conference. Clearly there will be some changes but we are confident of delivering high quality presentations and ePosters, as in previous years.

Key Points
  • The top abstracts will be selected for 15-minute online presentation. This presentation will be through the virtual conferencing software, with slides and limited discussion still possible. 
  • Any other accepted abstracts will be as ePosters, visible on the PIER website
  • We would be especially interested in the ways people within the PIER network have innovated during the COVID-19 disruption, these include topics such as-
    • ​Moving education online
    • Research on COVID-19
    • Changes in clinical practice and innovative ways of dealing with new challenges
Guidelines for Abstract Submission

The abstract has to be entered in the accompanying form with the following structure:

Poster Presentation Guidelines
Please read these guidelines carefully before starting the preparation of your poster.

Format and Content of your poster
  • Your poster can be portrait or landscape in design. 
  • Please do not include any commercial logos
  • We suggest to use easy to read colours and avoid very bright backgrounds/very light text
  • Posters should contain information on the work you have written about in your abstract. This should include information on background, methods, results and conclusions. Pictures, tables and graphs are a useful way of displaying results
  • For some projects sections on further/future work, feedback from staff/patients and an acknowledgement section may be appropriate 
  • As we are using an electronic format for posters, be creative and consider including live clickable links to other resources or references if available
  • If you are in doubt or unsure about how to make your poster or what your poster should contain please contact your local PIER lead or see previous examples.
