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.
