<p>In recent years the British Lymphology Society (BLS) has been keen to encourage its members to present work at its annual conference, either in the form of a poster or an oral presentation. A growing number of members have taken up this challenge and in the last few years a research advisory board (RAB) has been formed, one of whose functions is to review the abstracts submitted for presentation at the annual conference. The BLS RAB is delighted that the <em>Journal of Lymphoedema</em> has agreed to publish the following selected abstracts from last year’s BLS conference. – <em>Vaughan Keeley, Chair of BLS RAB</em></p>
