Call for Abstracts

The Organising Committee invite you to submit your research to be considered for oral and/or poster presentation at the forthcoming New Zealand Hospital Pharmacy Association Conference 2026

Please read through the Abstract Submission Guidelines prior to submitting, and follow the relevant link to the appropriate template, guidance and exemplar for your chosen abstract. 

Templates and exemplars

The format and content of the templates now include the guidance information. The guidance has been clarified to help you understand the requirements. The exemplars provided are from the last few years and have been adapted to fit into the new format.

Availability of abstract review criteria

To further help you submit high quality abstracts we are making the abstract review criteria available to you. Please use this before you submit your abstracts to ensure you are covering the important information in each section.

Blinded review

The abstracts will be blinded before being reviewed by the abstract review committee. ForumPoint2 Conference Partners will remove your author information, and to help with the blinding we ask you to not identify your workplace in the text of your abstract.
