RCPsych in Scotland Winter Conference 2027

Oral presentations

We would like to invite Resident Doctors to contribute to the conference programme by delivering a 10-minute presentation on a topic related to psychiatry in Scotland. Presentations may be based on an audit, research project, quality improvement project, service evaluation, or other work relevant to psychiatry.

One oral presentation slot will be reserved for a presentation highlighting a Resident Doctor's volunteering experience, and we particularly encourage submissions in this area.

Residents in core and higher training and SAS doctors working in psychiatry are eligible to present.

If you would like to be considered, please submit your abstract through the form below. Abstracts should be no more than 400 words.

The closing date for oral presentation abstracts is 6pm on Thursday, 26 November 2026.

The conference registration fee will be covered for one lead author/presenter. This does not extend to co‑authors or additional presenters, and travel expenses will not be covered.
