Join us for an Abstract Writing Masterclass on Friday 24th April, 12:30–13:30, designed specifically to help prepare submissions for the BAPEN Conference. This interactive session will guide attendees through the essentials of creating a clear, compelling abstract, featuring a 20‑minute expert briefing, followed by small‑group critique of a sample abstract, and concluding with an open Q&A to refine skills and boost confidence. Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your research communication skills ahead of the conference. A complementary Poster Design Masterclass will also run on Friday 11th September, 12:30–13:30 for those wishing to enhance their visual presentation skills.
