Poster Parade: call for abstracts

After the success of last year's virtual Poster Parade, this year we are once again running a virtual poster display and competition as part of an Autumn Season of online events to replace our usual Annual Conference.

Are you involved in an interesting project or in an area of work that you would like to promote and showcase? Why not present your work at our virtual poster exhibition? This is a great opportunity to share your learning and tell others about your work. The call for posters is now open.

If you are at all interested in presenting a poster, please contact Pauline Ellison for a proposal form for completion at: pauline@palliativecarescotland.org.uk

Poster abstracts/ proposals will be reviewed rapidly as soon as we receive them and acceptances confirmed continuously up until the closing deadline, Friday 10 September 2021.

Exhibitors will be asked to create their virtual poster using a twitter-friendly template and submit this no later than Friday 24 September 2021. The template and guidelines for preparing your virtual poster will be attached to your poster abstract/ proposal acceptance email.

On Monday 11 October 2021, the poster section of the SPPC website will go live for colleagues to view all the posters and to cast their vote for the Derek Doyle Poster Prize. The Partnership will also curate a day of poster sharing via Twitter.

On Thursday 28 October 2021 from 3.00pm – 5.00pm a selection of exhibitors will be invited to give brief presentations of their work and to take part in a Q&A via Zoom as part of the SPPC Autumn Season of events. The winners of the Derek Doyle Poster Prize will also be announced at this event.
