Call for Abstracts - CLOSED

The Australian College of Critical Care Nurses encourages new talent and first-time presenters to submit an abstract for the free paper (ICE Box) sessions at this year’s Annual Education Meeting (AEM).

The theme of the AEM 2024 is “Beyond the Horizon”. We invite any critical care nurses, educators, managers, or teams to consider the theme and to share what they have learned through implementing local innovations, quality improvement projects or research, providing insight and stories about their work to the wider critical care population of Australia. All abstract submissions must be completed by Monday 28 July 2024 to be considered for review.

Take a stand on the “ICE Box” and share your passion!

We are seeking submissions appropriate for three categories:

  • A - ‘MacGyver’ – innovative solutions to difficult problems
  • B - Quality Improvement Projects – how the outcomes of the project have been applied and their impact on the local area
  • C – Nursing Scholarship – research projects completed as part of a postgraduate degree or PhD

Points to consider when submitting your abstract:

  • Will information in your presentation be generalisable to other intensive care units?
  • Is the project in line with best practice (where applicable)?
  • Have appropriate permissions been sought and granted? E.g. ethics approval where relevant.
  • How do you know the innovation or project has made a difference?
  • What can clinicians learn from your presentation?
  • How can clinicians apply what they have learned in their own units?
  • How have you addressed any safety concerns in your project?
  • Has the project, or any aspect of the project, been presented or published elsewhere? If so, please see Declaration of Consent to view the terms of submission.
  • Are there any conflicts of interest?

Ensure your abstract ‘sells your idea’. Persuade us that telling the story of your project is worthy of a 15–20-minute oral presentation at the 2024 AEM.
