The organising committee cordially invites you to participate in the Annual NZDSI Conference 2024 by submitting abstracts for Oral Scientific Presentations and E-Posters. We are excited to learn about your expertise and research projects that explore novel ideas and create discussions that drive improvements in patient care.
We encourage NZDSI members to submit papers related to their specific interests, including clinical audits, research, or case-based reports. We also warmly welcome prospective trainees and students to present their research-based talks, completed audits, or literature reviews.
The Scientific Committee will evaluate the submissions based on originality, clarity, topicality, usefulness and learning, novelty, depth, impact, and interest. Their decision is final.
