Winter Meeting abstract prizes, awards and opportunities
Once again, we are offering the joint BTS/ A+LUK/ BALR Lecture awards, providing the opportunity for mid-career researchers to present a lecture at the Winter Meeting. Applications have now closed. Abstracts can also be entered for a number of other competitions. For further details please see the BTS Medal, Awards and Prizes page We are working with Thorax Journal to plan for the simultaneous publication of selected manuscripts to coincide with abstract presentation.
Conference Grants
This year funds have been made available to award grants to those whose abstracts receive the highest score. If you wish to apply for a conference grant you must be the first author of the abstract and meet one of the following criteria:
- Within 5 years of having achieved your PhD
- Registered for Higher Degree in a relevant subject
- A doctor in training
- A nurse, allied health professional, healthcare scientist or other member of the respiratory team
You must also agree to return the grant if you receive funding to attend the Winter Meeting from another source. You will be able to declare your wish to apply for a conference grant when submitting your abstract (If you are submitting this abstract on behalf of a colleague who would meet this criteria, you may tick this box for your colleague to be considered for the grant). This grant is not available to medical students – medical students should opt in for the medical student competition.
BTS is grateful to AstraZeneca and GSK for supporting the conference grants for 2025.

The Society remains committed to supporting training in thoracic ultrasound.
Our aims are to:
- Reduce variation in ultrasound training.
- Support both learning and training in Thoracic Ultrasound as detailed in the BTS Training Standards document
To help achieve this we have:
- Created a centralised online BTS learning resource to cover the relevant theoretical knowledge, aligned to BTS training standards.
- Provided minimum standards and supporting resource for trainers to facilitate face to face training, again aligned to BTS training standards.
We are very grateful for the support we have received from the members of our Task and Finish Group, and those colleagues who have contributed to the online learning that is available on the theory of ultrasound.
Please refer to this document that outlines the following:
- The rational and background for the work.
- The learning objectives for the theory modules.
- BTS minimum standards for practical thoracic ultrasound courses (see appendix 2 of this document).
Dr Andrew Stanton and Dr Ian Forrest explain more about this important resource in a new feature on Respiratory Futures.
The resources are aimed at all members of the multi-professional team who are working to achieve primary operator status, as outlined in the BTS training standards.
You will need to register to receive access and there is no fee for BTS members. Non-members are encouraged to register, and the fee is £30.
Trainers will also need to register to access the file with supplementary material to support course delivery.
These resources are intended as educational tools for you to use to support your own learning and there is no formal certificate of completion.
