We are delighted to invite you to the NIHR INSIGHT South West Peninsula annual conference.
The first of our conferences will take place on Tuesday 1 April 2025 and is jointly hosted by the Universities of Plymouth and Exeter. This is a free event, funded by the NIHR INSIGHT programme. Places are limited and will be offered to our INSIGHT students from the University of Plymouth and the University of Exeter in the first instance. Additional places will be available for early career health and social care professionals.
The programme is an opportunity for both students and professionals to showcase their research and will include poster presentations, oral presentations, discussion panels and research skills workshops. This conference will also welcome those who would like to present their research-related experiences fostering a community-based culture where both challenges and triumphs can be shared in a welcoming environment.
The conference will include poster presentations for which prizes of £100 are available in three separate categories, as well as “Elevator Pitch” presentations for which two prizes of £1,000 are available. The following groups are eligible to attend the conference and present a poster and/or elevator pitch:
  • Healthcare, social work and public health professionals who have worked for a period equivalent of up to three years following registration.
  • Students enrolled in courses of healthcare, social work and public health professions.
  • Priority will be given to those living, working or studying in the South West Peninsula or with an offer of employment in this area.
Please scroll down for further information about the presentations.
The conference is being developed with input from our INSIGHT Masters Student Steering Committee to ensure content is relevant to current student interests and to develop student-led panels and presentations. Details of the full programme will be given once confirmed.
Registration will open on 21 February 2025. For more information or to register your interest, please contact us at nihrinsight-swpeninsula@plymouth.ac.uk.

Poster Presentations and Elevator Pitch Presentations

Poster Presentations

Posters should be submitted in A2 portrait format. You can submit one or more posters in any of the following three categories and a prize of £100 for the best poster will be awarded in each of the categories:
  • Category 1 – A research design proposal (or a full research project if completed but this is not anticipated at this stage of an INSIGHT delegate’s career).
  • Category 2 – An overview of a problem or gap in the evidence-base in an area of personal interest, leading to the development of a research question. This does not have to go as far as developing a full research proposal but in contrast to category 1 would offer more theoretical justification for development of a research question.
  • Category 3 – A reflection of a significant learning experience gained relative to developing research skills (this could be about any experience within masters study, in any engagement event or external research development opportunities, including and not limited to practice-based experience of research in action).
Read the poster submission guidelines for more information on submitting a poster at our conference.
Once you have read the guidelines, you can submit an application to present a poster via our online application form.

Elevator Pitch Presentations

Slots of up to three minutes are available for delegates who are interested in entering our “elevator pitch” competition to win £1,000 to attend a relevant conference of their choice.
The presentation should identify a specific conference that you would like to attend and state how the £1,000 would help you to access this. It should clearly identify the reason(s) you would like to attend the conference considering factors like your personal or career development, profile building and networking opportunities, ability to present and potential to bring new knowledge and learning back into the South West Peninsula.
Read the elevator pitch guidelines for more information on submitting an application for an elevator pitch slot at our conference.
