New PHC RIS Fact Sheets
PHC RIS recently produced two Fact Sheets: Writing great abstracts and PHC information & knowledge at your fingertips.
Writing great abstracts
An abstract is a short piece of writing that presents the essential elements of a larger work in a powerful manner. If you are having trouble writing them and need guidance, or want to improve your abstracts writing skills then this Fact Sheet is a must for you. It starts with explaining what an abstract is and goes on to clarify what an abstract should include, how to make your abstract stand out amongst the others, final checks before submitting and a list of useful resources and references to help you submit the best work you can.
PHC information & knowledge at your fingertip
The PHC RIS website holds a wealth of information and this Fact Sheet gives you a quick look into what is available. If you have asked yourself any of the following questions then we have the answers for you:
- How do I stay on top of everything PHC?

- Where can I get PHC data?
- Where can I get help collecting the data?
