SPPC Annual Conference 2018 – Call for Posters, Exhibition Stands or Publication Displays

This year’s Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care (SPPC) conference will be held at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh on Wednesday 28 November 2018. Bookings are now open for Scotland’s premiere event for anyone involved in the care and support of people reaching the end of life.

Featuring a mix of high quality speakers, extensive poster display, arts space, exhibition area and delegate interaction the SPPC Annual Conference will provide delegates with:

  • an opportunity for learning relevant to practice and workplace
  • a chance to network, to share information and good practice
  • challenging perspectives and energising inspiration.

Call for posters:
Are you involved in an interesting project or in an area of work that you would like to discuss with or show to other conference attendees? Why not present your work in the poster exhibition which is an essential part of
learning and sharing best practice at the conference. With forty-six poster exhibits at the 2017 conference, you are invited to make the most of this very worthwhile networking opportunity this year. Poster presenters
should be prepared to give a brief 5-minute presentation on their poster should it win the People’s Poster Vote on the day. Other than the delegate fee, no charge will be made to you for presenting your poster(s) at the conference.

Call for Exhibition Stands / Publication Displays:
Once again this year there will be an opportunity to exhibit at this event. The exhibitor area at the conference provides generous space for exhibitions and displays with direct access to the catering area, seating, posters and breakout rooms. Other than the delegate fee there is no charge to any voluntary organisations who exhibit at the conference. If you are at all interested in presenting a poster or bringing along your exhibition or display stands, please contact Pauline Ellison for a proposal form for completion – [email protected]

Please note that the closing date for submissions for posters or exhibitions is Friday 09 November 2018.
