There are more opportunities than ever at this years' conference, and we invite members to submit ideas or expressions of interest to present in their research work.

The Research Committee will review all submissions and pick the best 4-5 for presentation and expert critique/audience discussion during the session.
Research Ideas Workshop
Friday 27 September 2024
This is a completely new session for Thessaloniki. ESCP members have often asked for an informal opportunity to discuss a fledgling research idea and obtain advice on how to convert it into a successful study or trial. This may include guidance and input into research design, methodology, outcome measures, deliverability or routes to multicentre engagement.
We have assembled a team of experienced surgical trialists, methodologists and patient representatives to provide friendly input and counsel during this relaxed session.
If you have an idea for a project, no matter how early in its development, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., to ask for an 8 minute slot during this session, on a first come first served basis. The session will be open to the wider Conference audience if they want to observe, but presented in a ‘round table’ format, without slides.
