LabMed publishes five-year archive of conference abstracts

As we open the application process for LabMedUK26 abstracts and poster submissions, we are pleased to announce that the previous five years of LabMed conference abstracts are now available to browse on the LabMed website.

Poster sessions are an important part of our national conference and a key platform for members to showcase innovative practice, service improvements, research, and clinical insights. For many junior scientists, writing and presenting a poster abstract is an essential early step in scientific communication — often leading to short reports or even full peer-reviewed publications.

All accepted poster abstracts are published annually as a supplement in Annals of Clinical Biochemistry and Laboratory Medicine. This means your work reaches a wider audience and provides you with a citable reference to strengthen your CV and professional portfolio.

To support members preparing submissions for LabMedUK26, we’ve made the last five years of conference abstracts available online:

We encourage all members — especially early-career professionals — to explore past examples and consider submitting their own work for LabMedUK26. This is an excellent opportunity to share your achievements, contribute to the wider profession, and build confidence in scientific writing and presentation.
