Basic Science abstract submission
Deadline extension | 17:00 hrs (GMT) Wednesday 22 March
Showcase your abstract at the BAS/BSCR Spring meeting at the largest cardiovascular conference in the UK.
Submitting guarantees great visibility for your work and the opportunity to interact with an engaged audience at the BAS/BSCR Spring Meeting.
Reviewed by an expert panel, selected abstracts will also published in a special edition of ‘Heart’ BMJ Journal.
Nearer the meeting log in details will follow direct from the BCS.
