Types of sessions
Workshop sessions: These sessions are 90 minutes in length. Workshops must be practical and interactive and include opportunities for active learning and interaction between participants. It is recommended that a 90 minute workshop include about 30 to 40 minutes of content and 40 to 50 minutes of active learning.
Small group (concurrent) sessions: These sessions are 45 minutes in length. Sessions must include opportunity for discussion, which can be in any format that allows this, e.g. question and answer period, a speaker panel discussion/debate, live polls asking participants to contribute their experience, “buzz” groups (2-3 minute discussions on an issue in small groups of 2-3 people), etc. These are just examples and proposers are encouraged to consider other innovative ideas to engender discussion and interaction. It is recommended that the 45 minute session include about 25 to 30 minutes of content and 15 to 20 minutes for interaction with/among participants.
Oral communications – project/research sessions: These presentations are allocated 15 minutes in length and will be grouped together in groups of three presentations within each theme in each room. There will be 10 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions from the participants.
Poster sessions: Posters will need to be available for viewing on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the conference and there will be a manned poster-viewing time within the programme during that time when authors will be present with their posters. The program will also include a Life Long Learning in Pharmacy favourite item – “Visit my poster” where each poster author/s is given ONE minute per poster in plenary time to advertise their poster to conference participants. How you use this time is entirely up to you.
Posters should be A0 size in a Portrait style. Standard ISO A0 paper dimensions are 841mm x 1189mm (or 33.1 ×46.8inches). Posters may be laminated or not, according to your preference. Please bring Velcro dots or tacks to attach to the boards (not blu-tak).
