title: Writing for professional publication. Part 11: writing conference abstracts.
abstract: Nursing and healthcare conferences range from one-day events organized by local trusts or education departments to three-day international conferences. Invitations to submit abstracts of potential presentations appear regularly in the nursing press, usually about nine months before the conference takes place. If you submit an abstract and it is accepted, you will be invited to present your paper at the conference and your abstract will be published in the conference handbook.
