• The name, date and venue of the meeting/study day/conference
• Your name, job title and organisation

Length:
Aim for 600 words, 1000 words is the absolute limit.

Format:
Please create your report in Word or in rich text. Avoid elaborate formatting, but do use bullet points and quotes if you wish.

Content:
The purpose of the report is to provide those unable to attend an event an outline of its key themes and messages. Readers will want to know whether they missed anything that was new, different, or thought-provoking. Your personal reflections on an event are likely to be more interesting to the reader than a sequential account of each session.

You may like to use some or all of the following headings to structure your report:

• What was the purpose of the event?
• What were the key themes and issues?
• What was the highlight?
• What did I learn that was new? What were the take-home messages?
• What will I do/do differently as a result?
• Are there any follow-up resources I can point others to? (Here you might include links to presentation slides and/or references to key documents).

Abbreviations and acronyms:
Please spell out abbreviations on the first occasion of use.

Submitting your report:
Please send your report via email (as an attachment or as the text of the email) to me pauline.blagden@porthosp.nhs.uk as soon after the meeting as possible.
