Congress Information:
Presenter's Information: Presentation Instructions

Contributions in any area of pharmacy, or basic (pre-clinical) or clinical pharmacology or toxicology research are invited for presentation at the conference either as oral communication (podium) or poster presentation. Submissions for research sessions should relate to original, previously unpublished work contributing to the understanding, or development of pharmaceutical and pharmacological science. Research and development in clinical pharmacy and pharmacology, pharmacy practice, and education will also be considered. In addition, there will be the traditional Young Scientist sessions for the South African Society for Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, where presenters will compete for the Young Scientist Awards.

Submissions for research will be adjudicated on the basis of clearly outlining the research methodology used and with conclusions that are supported by the described findings. Submissions that represent novel and interesting research approaches but which may still be incomplete, may be acceptable as research in progress, where the author indicates that category on the abstract submission form. The adjudicating panel will make the final decision on the category in which the abstract is accepted and the form of presentation method. Please indicate on the registration form which method of presentation you prefer. Either poster or podium presentation.
