Symposium Submission

The symposium should be compiled by all presenters in the symposium and submitted by a single presenter (the facilitator/chair).
Please note that all submissions will be reviewed by the congress organising committee and selected for inclusion in the programme based on scientific review criteria and availability within the congress programme. Incomplete submissions will not be eligible for review and selection.

Symposium Submission 2026
Symposium Submission For:
Does your session require an AGM?
Please note that scheduling an AGM within your symposium may reduce the time available, as session durations are fixed.
Does your session include ethics content?
If yes, please include ‘Ethics’ in your submission title and ensure the ethics component lasts at least 45 minutes for HPCSA consideration. Any additional required documents will be communicated directly.

Chair/Facilitator

The symposium requires a chair/facilitator. One of the presenters may assume this role, or it can be fulfilled by a non-presenter whose only responsibility is to facilitate the session.

Please indicate the number of presenters for your proposed symposium (minimum of three and maximum of four) before proceeding with your submission. Each presenter must have their abstract uploaded in the designated section. These uploads should be completed by the Facilitator/Chair submitting this form.
Number of Presenters
Please note that symposium sessions have a limited duration, typically around 90 minutes per session.
