Guidance for competition entry:
The joint OAA / ICS meeting will be hosted at Royal College of Physicians, London, on Monday 5th October 2026. We would like to hear from resident doctors (from anaesthetic or intensive care medicine backgrounds) or equivalent grade fellows / trust grade / SAS doctors who have interesting case reports which they would like to share. Prizes will be available for the top presentations.
A summary of the case(s) should be submitted in accordance with the guidelines set out below. The authors of the top case summaries submitted will be invited to present their case as an oral presentation, with others offered poster presentations.
Further Details:
The entry should:
Include:
Maximum of four authors per submission. The first author must be a resident doctor or equivalent grade, who is available to present the case, if selected, as an oral presentation on 5th October 2026. At least one author must be a consultant (or experienced SAS doctor) who had direct or close involvement in the case.
Written consent for submission of the case summary +/- oral presentation and publication on the OAA website must be obtained from any patients involved. A statement indicating that written patient consent has been obtained for the above purposes must be included in a separate paragraph at the bottom of the case summary.
If accepted for oral presentation, the meeting registration fee will be waived for the presenting author and economy travel expenses reimbursed. Presenters must be OAA or ICS members at time of presentation.
It is acceptable for the case to have been presented as a poster or oral presentation at a local or regional meeting in the past. However, the case must not have been presented orally or accepted as a poster at any national or international meeting by current or other authors. It should not have been published previously in a journal or as an abstract or other written publication.
All submissions will be anonymised and judged by members of the OAA/ICS committee. Marks will be awarded for case interest, management discussion, learning points and the overall quality of the written submission. The decisions of the judging panel are final and those entries which do not adhere to the above format will not be considered.
The first author of the top cases submitted will be contacted by the 4th September 2026 to inform them that their case has been selected for oral presentation. Further details will then be issued regarding the required format and timing of the oral presentations.
Prizes will be presented to first and second place best oral presentations.
Any further queries should be emailed to [email protected]
In the event you are unable to attend, you will be able to cancel your place subject to approval and offered a refund minus a £20 administration charge up until 18 September 2026. Please provide written notice of your cancellation to [email protected].
