Poster Competition

Abstract entries for our poster competition are now closed and details on poster preparation for successful applicants are shown below.

Posters will be judged by our panel over the lunchtime break, and prizes for the top three entries will be awarded at the close of the day

Delegates will have three minutes to present their poster and one minute to take any questions from the judges. The judges will then use the following criteria to mark each poster:

• Quality of poster (is it interesting, concise, attractively presented?)
• Aim of the project (is it novel, reproducible, applicable to wider healthcare environment?)
• Verbal presentation (is the explanation clear, is the presenter enthusiastic, are they able to answer the questions posed?)
• Overall impact

Any queries about posters can be sent to england.ksspgme.se@nhs.net.

All accepted posters will need to be printed and displayed on the day. Further guidance on this will be sent to successful applicants.
