Symposium Poster Session
Join the Living Laboratory for a full-day symposium designed to equip delegates with the insights, strategies, and connections needed to transform pioneering ideas into impactful healthcare solutions - delivering real-world value within the NHS and on a global stage.
The Living Laboratory is a University of Glasgow-led programme that is dedicated to strengthening Glasgow’s position as a leader in healthcare innovation. By working in partnership with researchers, industry, clinicians and the public, we support the creation, refinement, and clinical evaluation of groundbreaking healthcare solutions that will transform patient outcomes.
As part of the symposium, we will be hosting a poster session and are delighted to announce that submissions are now open. Posters will be displayed for the duration of the symposium, with prizes for the top three posters being awarded at the end of the day.
