Call for Abstracts

Dear Authors,

The University of Queensland’s Centre for Online Health (UQ-COH) is pleased to call for abstracts for the 2024 Successes and Failures in Telehealth (SFT-24) conference to be held in Brisbane from the 13-15 November 2024.   

The SFT conference is an interactive experience that promotes engagement, innovation, critical debate, and future planning. SFT-24 will bring together the telehealth and virtual care services community.

Have a role in the future direction of telehealth and virtual care – by submitting an abstract and joining us at the conference.
