Interesting Cases Session and Derrick Martin Prize
The session is one of the annual highlights of the BSGAR meeting and is usually heavily oversubscribed. The quality of submissions and presentations has always been fantastic, and in 2025 we expect the Derrick Martin Prize to be as hotly contested as ever!
Please submit an abstract of your case as a three slide PowerPoint presentation using the following format:
• Slide 1: Cover slide – case title, authors and affiliations
• Slide 2: Text slide – case synopsis and final diagnosis (250 words maximum)
• Slide 3: Figures slide – up to 4 annotated images
The best 10 cases submitted will be invited to present at the Annual Meeting on Friday 7th February 2025 and offered publication on the BSGAR website. Accepted case authors will be asked to produce a 4-minute presentation, which will be pre-recorded ahead of the meeting (full details will be provided after acceptance).
The Derrick Martin Prize will be awarded for the best interesting case presented by a Resident doctor or Medical student. The winner will receive a prize of £200 in John Lewis vouchers.
