Poster Submissions welcome for #APPNStudyDay2023

Why not showcase your work in your ACP journey or innovative service redesign by presenting a poster at the upcoming APPN Study day, to be held at Aintree Racecourse, Liverpool on Thursday 25th May 2023?

The vision of APPN working across professional networks is to provide opportunities for sharing and learning best practice, innovation and transformation. We invite all APPN Members to this year’s Study Day to submit an abstract (or draft/ digital version of a poster) to be considered for a poster presentation.

If your poster is accepted for the NSN Meeting, you will need to bring your poster to the NSN meeting in Glasgow to discuss with delegates during the various networking opportunities throughout the day.

You may also request to be considered to present at the 3 minute quick-fire oral poster session.
