Abstract reviewer information

We are seeking reviewers to assist us with the abstract reviewing process for the RCOG World Congress 2025 (23-25 June 2025)

With the call for abstracts now distributed, we are in the process of inviting reviewers for the abstract grading process which will take place in February 2025. The closing date for abstract submission is Monday 20 January 2025 12.00pm UK time, with confirmation of abstract acceptance at the end of March 2025.  

We welcome applications from anyone who is post CCT qualification (UK) or consultant level (overseas) and experience of presenting a regional conference or above, particularly those with special interest in the categories available for submission. You should also not currently be removed from the Medical Register in any country or have any conditions applied. Applications from retired Fellows and Members are welcome.

What is required of you? 

Abstract reviewers need to be available to review and grade abstracts online via our platform, Oxford Abstracts, between Monday 3 February and Monday 17 February 2025 (inclusive). We will require grading to be completed by midnight on Monday 17 February 2025.

We hope to build a pool of reviewers sufficient in number to ensure that, wherever possible, the maximum number of abstracts to be reviewed will be 50 per reviewer. We will aim for each abstract to be reviewed three times. 

The allocation of abstracts will be based on the areas of interest which you specify when you register through the expression of interest form.  

How will reviewers benefit? 

In addition to playing a key role in the planning of the 2025 Congress programme, we are pleased to confirm the following entitlements for abstract reviewers: 

• 10% off the early bird registration fee to attend the Congress
• CPD points relevant to the framework you are currently following, either via the RCOG or your own institution managing your CPD programme
