North Central London Cancer Conference 2024
Call for poster submissions
The conference is an opportunity to share good practice and innovation in individual parts of the North Central London system, as well as highlighting the work of the North Central London Cancer Alliance as a whole.
We invite you to submit posters about your or your team’s work in the areas of cancer awareness raising, diagnosis, treatment, follow up care, or patient and family/carer support in living with and beyond cancer. These will be displayed at the conference.
Prizes will be presented to the three posters receiving the highest number of votes from attendees on the day.
Print-ready posters will need to be submitted by Monday 11 November.
How to submit a poster
Please email us as soon as possible at uclh.nclcanceralliance@nhs.net to register your intention to submit a poster. Follow the guidelines below for completing your display.
Guidance
Planning your Poster
Give yourself enough time to design your poster.
Your poster should be A0 size, in portrait format. Landscape format will not be accepted.
Designing your poster
Your poster should be eye-catching and draw the reader in. Be creative with your design to draw attendees to your content.
Making the most of your poster
- Make sure the content is accurate
- Avoid too much text
- Include photographs, figures, and colour to make it visually attractive
- Space your text and figures to make it easy to read
- Use clear headings and conventional format
There should be a clear but succinct introduction and statement of aims to help the audience with some context for why the work is important and what it aimed to add to existing evidence. The rest of the information- methods, results/evaluation, discussion/conclusion, and references- should follow logically and clearly.
Colourful charts, diagrams and images should be used to display data wherever possible, and bold illustrations always attract the reader’s eye.
The poster must be legible from a distance so several people can read it at the same time.
Confidentiality
Please ensure that no patient identifiable information is displayed within your poster.
Practicalities
- Appropriate contact details should be included in case anyone would like to follow up.
- Design should be portrait format, size A0.
