Call for abstracts

We aim to create a conference programme with our specialist GPs and rural hospital doctors' interests and scopes in mind, as well as medical students, registrars and the wider primary health care sector. Thursday 24 July will be dedicated to practical clinical skills/CME workshops. The programme on Friday 25 July and Saturday 26 July will consist of keynote and concurrent sessions.

We invite abstracts across the following themes:

• Hauora Māori
• Pasifika communities and health
• Rural communities and health
• Equity and quality
• Workforce wellbeing
• Research and innovation
• Teaching and education
• Clinical skills/CME (workshops)

Presentations can take the form of an oral presentation, electronic poster or workshop.

When composing an abstract, carefully follow the guidelines below and in the submission portal. After abstracts close, the Conference Programme Committee will review all abstracts, making a selection of successful abstracts under each theme.

Please note: Submitting an abstract doesn’t always guarantee a place in the conference programme and for those selected, all presenters will be required to register for the conference as an attendee, organise their own travel, accommodation and cover associated costs.
