Posters

Last year, we launched a Community of Practice members poster session, which was very well received and a great visual and conversational way to share your research or work with your peer colleagues.

It was a great way to see what was happening across the regions and we would love to build on this success. The content you share could be a case study, an audit, or an action you took to improve your service. It could also be something that didn’t work – we learn from mistakes and the community is a safe space. We would be delighted to hear about it. Below are some key examples for reference, and some guidance. If you are interested and would like to share your work for us to display, please email CoP@mndassociation.org.

Poster Examples:

Poster Guidance:

Your poster should include:

Poster title - make it large and visible.

Your poster must display your:

name
organisation
logo
contact details.

All authors should be named on the poster, but only one contact detail is necessary (e.g. email or social media handle).

Content

Design your poster to be read comfortably by someone standing in front of it. Use larger print and less information than you would put in a paper or report.

Focus on the main points

Identify the key points you want to put across and concentrate on those.

background and aims
description (method)
evaluation
conclusion
recommendations/actions .

Graphics

Make sure any graphs you use are relevant, readable and not too complex.
Ensure you have consent to use any content e.g., photos, images or quotes.

General design considerations

Remember it’s a poster: a visual explanation of your work.

Avoid complicated, fussy layouts with lots of small pieces of text.
Consider using arrows as navigational aids if the information flow is complicated, for example to illustrate steps in a process.
