The W Melbourne, sitting in the heart of the Melbourne CBD on the iconic Flinders Lane, this luxury hotel takes its design cues from the laneways that it sits between. Extending the laneway culture inside, 294 bold rooms and suites peel back the layers and revel in the city’s creative history. 

We will be inviting abstract submissions based on an original research study, service evaluation, quality improvement, or a case series relevant to perioperative allergy or anaphylaxis.  

The authors of the five best abstracts will be invited to give an oral presentation in the program.  

To encourage trainees and junior researchers to submit an abstract, we may be able to provide some financial assistance to those authors selected to present in person at the symposium. This will be done on a case-by-case basis. 

Remaining abstracts will be published in the meeting app and will be available for viewing as ePosters at the meeting.  

The best presentation will be awarded the Malcolm Fisher Prize worth A$1000.

Please submit your abstract in PDF format to the ANZAAG events team.

Please view the abstract guidelines, including eligibility guidelines for awards and prizes. Abstract submissions will close at midnight Monday 15 July 2024. 

Authors will be notified by Monday 2 September 2024 whether their abstract has been accepted for the ANZAAG/ISPAR Symposium and if they have been selected for the oral presentation. If you have not received any correspondence, please check your junk folder first, otherwise please contact the events team by email.

The 2024 Joint ANZAAG and ISPAR Symposium has opportunities across all three CPD categories: 

Category 1: Practice evaluation - Reviewing performance. 
Case discussion/conferencing activity 

Category 2: Knowledge and skills 
Lectures/plenary sessions under ‘Learning sessions’  
Workshops and small group discussions under ‘Short format learning’ activity  

Category 3: Emergency responses  
Where the workshop states that it satisfies an Emergency response CPD requirement, it has been recognised as suitable to be claimed as an emergency response activity, such as Anaphylaxis Management. 

If you're not a member of our CPD program 
Delegates who are not participants of the ANZCA and FPM CPD Program should check with their respective colleges/CPD home regarding CPD allocations.
