1. Authors of the best abstracts will be invited to present in the prestigious conference oral sessions to some of the most influential members of the UK surgical community.
2. The best presentations from the oral sessions will be invited to present at the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland Annual Scientific Meeting 2010.
3. All accepted abstracts will be published in an indexed supplement in the International Journal of Surgery.
4. The SARS prize is a prestigious session reflecting high quality Clinical and Basic Science Research, and will be judged by members of the SARS council.

Rules of Submission

ASiT takes a serious view of Research Governance. The material contained within a submitted paper must not have been previously published or presented at any major meeting.

Please ensure that the abstract has been seen and agreed by all of the named authors before submission. All authors have a responsibility to ensure that the data submitted is accurate, is not extrapolated and fairly represents the presentation to be given at the Association’s Annual Meeting.

General advice about authorship, conflicts of interest, redundant publication and patient confidentiality in medical publishing can be found on the British Medical Journal website at http://bmj.com/advice.

Commercial support and industry involvement must be clearly stated.

1. Each author may only submit a maximum of 2 abstracts for consideration.

2. The abstract should be no longer than 200 words (not including title). Abstracts of longer length will be rejected by the server and you will not be able to submit the abstract until you are below the word limit. It is therefore your responsibility to ensure that you keep to the word limit. The word count as displayed on the website when you click on the submit button is the word count that will be used - not the count in your word processor - please do not email with disagreements in number of words - the server count is final.

3. Abstracts this year are to be submitted as text only. No graphics or tables are allowed.

4. Abstracts are welcome on any subject in the field of Surgery. The work should be original and not previously published in abstract or paper form prior to submission.

5. Please use a spell checker on your abstract before submitting it!

6. All areas of the form must be completed; failure to do so will result in the form being rejected and your browser returning an error.

7. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you provide is correct and to check the content of your abstract with the 'Edit abstract' facility, especially contact information. We cannot be held responsible for your abstract not being graded as the content was missing or for failure to notify successful authors of abstract acceptance if you did not fill the form in correctly.

8. Once completed and submitted electronically you cannot submit the same abstract again - make sure the first one is correct! You can however edit the submission up to the closing time of submission.

9. Please ensure your e-mail address is correct as you will be notified by e-mail if your abstract has been accepted.

10. Once the form has been completed you will be presented with a 'Data Transmitted' page and have the option of printing out your abstract for your own records. If you do not see this page then your abstract has not been received and you must do it again - use the back button on your browser to do this.

11. DO NOT submit the same abstract twice, it will be difficult to decide which one to delete - either edit your abstract or delete it all together.
