Abstract Submission Guidelines
Instructions for Abstract Submission INS 2024
Abstracts will be reviewed by a panel of expert reviewers and may be selected for oral presentation.
Please select the abstract category:
- Clinical Science
- Basic Science
- Paediatrics
Submission of an abstract to the Irish Nephrology Society carries with it the implication that ALL authors have read and reviewed the submission. All authors must be afforded an opportunity to review and comment on the submitted abstract in advance of the deadline. Abstracts may be withdrawn but not altered after the deadline.
Whilst reports of individuals cases (case reports) with unique scientific or educational value will be considered, they must enhance clinical practice or diagnostic understanding to be accepted. In the interest of maintaining high scientific standards only those abstracts passing peer review will be accepted. Submissions are limited to one abstract per Lead Author.
