WCIC4 Postcard
Following our successful International Conference #ICIC16 which took place in Barcelona last week with over 1000 delegates in attendance, we have had numerous requests for an extension to the deadline for submitting papers. The purpose of our International and World conferences is to spread good practice and facilitate knowledge sharing so we want to ensure that all individuals, organisations and projects have the opportunity to make a submission. As such we have extended the deadline to Friday, 1 July! 

WCIC4 Investing in our Future: Improving the Health of People and Communities will take place in Wellington from 23-25 November 2016 and the Scientific Committee are accepting paper submissions relating to the conference themes outlined below. The paper should take the form of an abstract of not more than 500 words. Abstract Submission Guidelines are available to download from the conference website. 

All accepted abstracts will be published in the International Journal of Integrated Care (Impact Factor 1.500) Accepted abstracts will appear in the programme as a formal oral presentation, workshop or poster, as deemed appropriate by the scientific committee. All accepted abstracts will compete for the Annual IFIC Integrated Care Awards. 

SATELLITE EVENT: A special one day conference "Next Generation Health: Promoting the Health of Younger People through Digital Technologies" will take place on Saturday, 26 November - requires a separate ticket which can be booked through the conference registration page

SPECIAL DELEGATE RATES FOR IFIC MEMBERS: Delegates who attended ICIC16 in Barcelona and paid full fees are automatically subscribed to the Foundation and our members have access to lower rates. You will need your membership number to access this special rate so please contact Sandra O'Connor, Membership Liaison before making your registration. If you are submitting a paper for review, you will be asked to make your registration promptly if your paper has been successful so please make the necessary arrangements with your organisation in advance.
