The deadline for all abstract submissions is 23:59 on Monday 28th September 2026.

Submit your abstract here

The BCCA 2026 will feature six separate abstract submission streams for each programme – BCCA, PECSIG, BACCNA, CCNA, CCAN and BCCP. Participants are invited to submit abstracts of original work to be selected for either poster or oral presentations. The abstract should describe new work developed by the participants and should not include studies commissioned by or performed for an external agency. Our intention is to inspire participants to communicate new findings and original observations, and abstracts should therefore not have been previously displayed at other meetings.

The abstract should provide a succinct overview of the main aims and objectives of the presentation, relating to research projects, quality improvement projects, clinical projects, presentation about health and wellbeing interventions, case studies, and literature reviews.

Every abstract will be peer-reviewed by the BCCA 2026 committee and may be selected for oral or poster presentation. You will be informed whether your abstract has been selected w/c 5th October 2026. Final presentation of accepted abstracts will require registration of at least one author for the meeting. We recommend registering as soon as you plan to submit an abstract as we do not hold spaces for successful abstract presenters.  To register please follow this link.
