The PROMS conference welcomes oral and poster abstracts from clinicians, researchers, patient partners, industry, SMEs and others working in the field. Due to the demand for presentation slots we are introducing this year a 'Rapid Report' oral session (a 3-minute, 5 slide maximum oral presentation).
Abstract submission and registration are opening shortly!  

Themes this year: 
·         ​​Innovative PPI in PROMs research and practice
·         Self-management and PROMS
·         Electronic PROM capture/cutting edge methods
·         Diversity and PROMs; 
·         PROMs in clinical practice
·         Barriers and challenges of national and international PROM collaboration

However, we want to stress we are open to receive other relevant work in the field, including clinical submissions.
