BJCA case report competition...few days left to apply!
Do you have an interesting case to share?
Just a reminder that the BJCA Starter Committee have launched its inaugural case report competition!
Whether you have identified a novel finding or management strategy, or simply wish to share your experience of treating a rare classical condition, we want to hear from you. The winning case report will be published in full in European Heart Journal – Case Reports.
Successful candidates will particularly focus on the pathology, pharmacology and management strategy underpinning their case, and reference to relevant clinical practice guidelines are most welcome. Further information to help you structure your case report is available here and exemplar articles are viewable via the journal's homepage, https://academic.oup.com/ehjcr.
Entries are limited to 1,200 words, excluding references, and should be submitted to bjca@bcs.com by 17:00hrs this Friday October 5th 2018. You may include up to a maximum of five figures or tables, along with up to 15 references. Case reports will be reviewed and scored anonymously but please include your full name and workplace on your submission email for notification purposes.
Please note that informed written consent must be obtained from all case report subjects before submission, and all authors involved should be included on your submission email (maximum four authors). The lead author must be a BJCA Starter member and they should provide on application if known, their BJCA only membership number or joint BCS/BJCA membership number. If unsure of membership number, please email bjca@bcs.com.
Finally, for the first time this year the winning case report will be invited to speak at the annual BJCA Starter Conference in London, November 10th, alongside internationally renowned consultant cardiologists!
