Palliative Care Poster Parade

We're pleased to launch the 2022 Palliative Care Poster Parade.

This online poster exhibition gathers together interesting palliative care projects from across Scotland, and presents them online for people to view, share and vote on.

The Poster Parade will take place over Twitter this week #SPPCPosterParade, and culminate in an event on 28 October when a selection of exhibitors will give brief presentations of their work and take part in a Q&A via Zoom.

Over the next two weeks, we invite you to vote for your favourite poster - the poster with the most votes will win the prestigious Derek Doyle Poster Prize.
