Education in the Exhibition Sessions
This year we will be adding enhanced educational opportunities within the exhibition in a more social and interactive setting.
These focused, practical learning sessions will be delivered during breaks in the exhibition space, and will cover professional development and soft skills, with topics including:
- Top tips for writing an abstract
- Private practice: challenging the status quo
- How to write a successful business case
- Video-based technical skills
These sessions are designed to complement the scientific programme and provide immediately applicable skills for enhancing your practice.
