RCN Research Society annual poster and presentation award at the RCN annual international nursing research conference
In recent years the Research Society has endeavoured to raise the profile of poster presentation as a meaningful approach to the dissemination of research findings and as a useful means to foster debate on issues related to research. As such, in recent years, a panel of judges identified three of the best posters presented during the conference.
In 2010, this award was repositioned to celebrate the best poster of the day and best oral presentation of the day. This has proved to be very popular with delegates and will be continued in future years.
