Poster Presentations

Health practitioners and researchers currently undertaking research have the opportunity to present a poster at the forum, and to engage delegates in rich discussion of their research during lunch and afternoon tea.  

Display Posters

Delegates can provide a printed poster to be displayed on a board throughout the South West Health Research Forum.  Please note:

  • The organisers will not print posters on behalf of presenters.
  • The face of the poster board is covered with Velcro-receptive fabric.  Push pins will be provided for you to hang your poster.
Electronic Posters

Poster presenters can upload an electronic version of their final poster as a PDF file prior to the forum.
