    This episode of ‘Health Management Voices' is recorded as part of the European Health Management Conference podcast series, created to support current and future conference participants in navigating the EHM Conference experience. The series aim to provide practical guidance, particularly around the abstract submission and presentation process, and to help researchers and health management professionals make the most of their engagement with the Conference.

Together, we explore why submitting an abstract to EHMA is a valuable opportunity, what defines a strong and competitive abstract, and how authors can effectively balance technical requirements with a clear and compelling research message. The conversation also provides a behind-the-scenes look at the EHMA abstract review process, discusses how to align submissions with conference themes, and offers practical advice for researchers who may feel uncertain about whether their work is ‘ready’ to submit. Drawing on expert experience from the review process, the discussion offers practical insights to support researchers at all career stages, from PhD students and early-career academics to more experienced scholars.
