The main purpose of the event is to give the final year trainees an opportunity to showcase and celebrate their contribution to research within healthcare science and, this year, the programme included poster presentations from 20 students and talks from a further 9 students, all from a range of disciplines.
First prize for the student presentations went to Genomics trainee, Sarah Graham, who conducted research into a genetic test to improve the treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia, and the first prize for the posters went to Cardiac Science trainee, Jennifer Pilling, showing how she investigated the correlation between patients with Diastolic Dysfunction and Diabetes Mellitus.
