Posters

This year’s poster exhibition will feature around 200 projects that are taking place across NHS Scotland and partner organisations to support our key priorities. 

Submissions are welcome from NHS Scotland employees, our voluntary and partner organisations, and other public or private sector organisations on any aspect of work they are undertaking in, with or on behalf of NHS Scotland.

Please note the format for the poster display:

  • The top scoring 100 poster abstracts will be invited to display a poster at the event as well as in the online poster showcase. Around 25 of these will also be invited to give a short presentation of their work.
