Applications to make a presentation for the Prize should be made in
writing or by email to Ken
Burchett a minimum of three weeks before the meeting. The application
should include a tentative title and a short abstract description of
the presentation.
Presentations will be oral and should last a maximum of 10 minutes.
There will then be a five-minute period for questions from the audience.
Visual aids should be used, and may include overheads, slides or
computer projected presentations.
If you plan to use computer projection you are advised to request
this from the organisers as soon as possible in order to ensure
that the equipment will be available.
Furthermore you are responsible for ensuring that you can use the
equipment that is provided and the
organisers take no responsibility if the computer equipment does
not function as expected.
You are therefore strongly recommended to bring slide or
overhead backup.
Presentations will usually be judged by an external assessor to maintain
independence. They will be assessed on:
presentation
use of visual aids
content
Presentations may consist of research findings, case presentations,
literature reviews or other matters within the scope of intensive care
medicine. However presentation of unpublished research findings is encouraged.
There is a small financial reward for the winning presentation.
