The project should substantially be the own work of the submitting author.

Those authors invited to present their abstract for oral or poster presentation will be required to register and attend the 2026 UK & Ireland Brachytherapy Meeting.  Please DO NOT submit an abstract if you know you are unable to attend the Conference. Registration payment is required by the presenting author by the author registration deadline. If you are unable to register for the meeting by this deadline, your abstract will be withdrawn.

In order for us to send further information to the correct person, please ensure that the submitting author will also be the presenting author.
