usable area of which is...
150 cm high x 100 cm wide (portrait)
THIS IS THE MAXIMUM SIZE ALLOWED FOR YOUR POSTER!
- Velcro for attaching your poster to the board will be available
at the meeting.
- Posters are usually more attractive when mounted
onto a single background rather then being mounted on the board as
several separate
sheets.
- The Organisers will provide the poster board numbers
- You are
invited to bring copies of your poster on A4 sheets to hand out to
interested delegates.
Organising your poster
We suggest the following format for the organisation of your poster.
Title
The title of your submitted abstract
Authors
Who was involved, and their affiliations

A statement about the aims and objectives of the study
Methods
A description of the methodology that you have adopted, including any
assumptions
Results
Include examples of the main results of the study
Conclusions
List the main findings and your thoughts about how the work could be
progressed further
Formatting your poster
- Keep fonts simple and use one or two different fonts only
- Font
size – your poster should be easily legible at a distance
of 1.5 metres. We recommend the following minimum font sizes:
Title: 84 pt
Authors/addresses: 42 pt
Section Headings: 30 pt
Text: 24 pt
- Keep use of colour to a minimum
- Maintain a consistent style
- Keep text to a minimum
- Neutral colours work better as a
back ground than bright colours
- Make use of graphics where possible
- Only include what is
absolutely necessary
- Do not overload tables and figures with information
- Be selective
when showing results
- Check spelling
- Above all, keep it simple
Disclosure of interest
The intent of ECTS is to provide high-quality sessions
focused on educational content that is free from commercial influence
or bias. We request all presenters to cooperate in this by:
- Declaring any potential conflict of interest on a Disclosure
of Interest form - please read
the instructions and inform us through the form if you have an
affiliation to declare (deadline 10 February).
- Declaring any commercial role in your research on your slides or
poster - if the research was supported by a pharmaceutical company
you must indicate the company’s role in analysing the data or
preparing the slides.
