Hosted by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW)

The day will consist of a series of short talks from our researchers, aimed at all staff at UHBW and local partner organisations with an interest in clinical research. The sessions will feature talks from various specialties, and will be at a level accessible to all staff, not just experienced researchers.

It will be themed around the Trust value of being Collaborative and Inclusive, and split into 3 sessions. You can sign up for just one or all 3. The Showcase will reflect on the last three years, and how effective collaborative ways of working and inclusion have been and are more important than ever.
