Poster Village and Oral presentations
Beyond the main programme, the Festival floor is a space to explore the latest innovations and learnings in our field.
From new techniques, digital tools and ways to improve patient outcomes, our community are sharing their work across poster presentation displays in the Poster Village and a select few will give oral presentations in the Insight Theatres.
No matter your specialty or career stage, you'll learn something new from your peers.
