Poster presentations

Many thanks for all the fantastic entries to the poster competition, we were really impressed (but not surporised!) by the standards produced.

Interactive poster presentation sessions featured three presentations from the work submitted to the FMLM Annual Conference 2013 poster competition, followed by a panel discussion with presenters.

Themes addressed included trainee engagement, grassroots leadership, practical innovation, safe patient transfers, effective communication, and clinical handover.
