Call for papers

International Conference on Doctors’ Health

17-19 November 2008 BMA House, London

Authors are invited to submit abstracts for consideration as posters, oral presentations, or workshop sessions at the 2008 International Conference on Doctors’ Health. The conference is sponsored by the British, American, and Canadian medical associations.

Please send abstract submissions of up to 400 words via the conference website at www.bma.org.uk/ap.nsf/Content/DHC-CallForPapers (not to the BMJ) by Tuesday 25 March 2008. Corresponding authors will be notified of the outcome of blinded peer review by Friday 18 April 2008.

The conference committee welcomes presentations on any aspect of doctors’ health and wellbeing but is particularly interested in issues relating to professionalism and to the effects of adverse incidents, complaints, and litigation on doctors’ health. The committee will give priority to scientific and data based presentations addressing the conference theme, "Doctors’ health matters: finding the balance."

The BMJ will be pleased to consider for publication in November 2008 any research paper whose abstracts are accepted for the conference. Authors should submit their full papers (but only after they have had confirmation of acceptance by the conference committee) to the BMJ’s online editorial office at http://submit.bmj.com, where they will enter the normal peer review process. Please do not send potential conference abstracts to the BMJ, and please note that publication in the BMJ is not guaranteed.
