Programme
Top Tips Session
We are planning on holding a session at the ABS Conference 2025 in which all members and delegates can take part.
We are inviting you all to suggest a ‘top tip’ you have, which has improved patient care or service provision, or which you find useful in clinic or theatre and to do a short, 5 minute presentation on this in the session at the Conference.
Sharing knowledge is vital to improvement and we would love to hear what helps our members in their day to day work. Anyone presenting in the session will get a free place at the ABS Annual Dinner.
Please outline your top tips in less than 500 words and send them for consideration to Lucy Davies at lucydavies@absgbi.org.uk by the 31st January 2025.
