Designing your Poster

We’re delighted to be using the Learning Toolbox again for this year’s Event.  This will allow poster authors to add supporting material to supplement their poster.

Poster Design

The NHS Scotland Event 2026 poster exhibition will combine both our traditional poster display with the addition of an online poster showcase.

The online poster showcase allows poster authors to supplement their poster with additional resources such as images, video, audio, documents and relevant web links.

The top 100 poster abstracts will be required to:

  • Create and arrange printing of a traditional A0 poster;
  • Upload a copy of their final poster to the Online Poster Showcase and;
  • Add additional resources (optional) to the Online Poster Showcase to support their poster e.g. images, videos, audio, documents, apps and links to social media and online resources.

Poster abstracts selected for presentation will be required to:

  • Create and arrange printing of a traditional A0 poster;
  • Upload a copy of their final poster to the Online Poster Showcase;
  • Add additional resources (optional) to the Online Poster Showcase to support their poster e.g. images, videos, audio, documents, apps and links to social media and online resources and
  • Prepare a 5 x minute presentation to showcase the poster content at the NHS Scotland Event (a morning or afternoon slot will be allocated).

Poster abstracts selected for the online showcase will be required to:

  • Upload a copy of their final poster to the Online Poster Showcase and;
  • Add additional resources (optional) to the Online Poster Showcase to support their poster e.g. images, videos, audio, documents, apps and links to social media and online resources.

Please note that a comprehensive set of guidelines on how to use the online poster showcase will be emailed to all poster authors at the start of the poster design stage.
