BCIS Best Trainee Case 2026

To all PCI trainees,

We are inviting you to submit your most instructive and interesting case, in open competition, for an opportunity to present at this high-profile forum to the British Interventional Community. The top eight selected cases will each present at an angio review session at ACI 2026 with the top three cases presenting in the main auditorium.  All case presentations will subsequently be available on the BCIS website to view on demand.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

• PowerPoint (or equivalent) with a maximum of 13 slides including the title slide.
• All patient data must be anonymised, and the responsible consultant must be aware of the submission.
• The doctor submitting must have been personally involved in the case and have had a significant, though not necessarily sole, first operator role. This role must be identified at the time of submission.
• A slide on the trainee’s view of the principal learning from the case should be included.

• Only one case to be submitted per applicant.
• Applicants must clearly outline their own involvement in the case within the presentation.
