DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF ABSTRACTS
FRIDAY 11th JULY 2008
|
Dear Colleagues,
It gives us great pleasure to invite you to the Annual Scientific
Meeting of the Scottish Society of Physicians (SSP). This year the SSP
has reached an important milestone as it will be celebrating its 50th
anniversary. Furthermore, the Society is particularly delighted to
confirm that the Scottish Cardiac Society Annual Meeting will take place
in parallel with the SSP in Glasgow.
In recognition of the SSP’s special anniversary, all the guest lectures
will have a theme of fifty years’ progress on topics of high clinical
relevance and interest to all physicians. Presentations will be given by
a prestigious faculty recognised as experts in their field. The
programme has also been awarded 8 clinical credits from the Royal
College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.
Scientific and audit communications are still an essential component of
the Annual Scientific Meeting. May we encourage you to submit a paper,
or stimulate your junior medical staff to present their research/audit
work along with yourself. Details of how to submit abstracts are
contained within this Announcement. The closing date for receipt of
abstracts is Friday 11th July 2008.
Abstracts selected for oral presentation will be eligible for a SSP
travel grant of up to £500 towards attendance at future scientific
meetings. The best oral abstract presented by an individual who has not
yet achieved consultant status will receive the
‘Fitzgerald-Peel Prize’ of £1000 for best scientific
research. There will also be a ‘Best Poster Prize’
of £200.
In acknowledgment of its commitment to the ‘physicians of the future’,
the SSP has undergone a period of modernisation and change and has
revised its constitution to open membership of the Society to staff
grades, associate specialists and also to specialist trainees (Registrar
equivalents) in medical specialties. We hope to encourage trainees who
ultimately become consultants in Scotland to actively support the
concept of a general medical society of physicians. Feeding in a younger
membership and enhancing the quality of meetings will help to secure the
future of the SSP.
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting and at the Society Dinner
for what we are sure will be not only an educational event but also a
time for physicians of Scotland from different specialties to meet.
