Social Care Ireland Conference Organising Committee are calling for student academic posters for presentation at Social Care Ireland Annual Conference 2017.

Text should be no less than 300 words and no more than 750 words. Please consider colours carefully, as what looks appealing on screen may reproduce poorly in print.

Please note, the conference organisers are not in a position to print posters or take responsibility for delivery or return. If you cannot attend to present your poster, ensure the individual delivering the poster to the conference is happy to assume responsibility for it throughout the conference, and for its safe return.
