How will the awards be judged?

Following the usual abstract marking procedure all abstracts will be scored and judged independently by a team of four multi-professionals within the 13 abstract topic categories. The five highest scoring abstracts across all of the abstract categories that involve a quality initiative will be considered together by a second independent panel for the Best Quality Improvement Award. The same procedure will take place to identify the five highest scoring abstracts for the Best Education Initiative and similarly the Best Research and Innovation.

This means that the best quality improvement, education initiative or research and innovation could be generated from any one of the abstract categories, by any multi-professional on any topic so long as it fits within the categories
described.

When will I be notified if I am a winner?
