Translate is accepting poster presentation proposals that cover the range of support that has been leveraged from the Leeds City Region for their event to be held on 25 April 2018.
Researchers and other delegates have the opportunity to enhance their projects by sharing their basic science results, innovations and clinical outcomes at a meeting that has already attracted more than 100 registrations.
Prizes of £50 (Amazon vouchers) will be awarded to the best posters and pitch’s, judged by the event committee and public and patient representatives.
The deadline for submissions is Friday 2 March 2018.
Scope of the call
Abstract submissions are invited from researchers in the Translate academic community for quickfire, 1 minute presentations followed by poster presentations during lunch and networking breaks.
We would particularly like to receive proposals that showcase the range of support and collaborations that have been leveraged from the Leeds City Region (e.g. Translate support such as secondments, mentoring, courses, Technology Innovation Manager support and other innovation enablers).
Abstract submissions can come from any organisation, but must describe:
- Development of a medical technology and innovation capability
- A range of support and interventions from the Leeds City Region
Our 1 minute poster pitches followed by a long poster display offers an informal setting to showcase a wide variety of research, career development and collaboration. This combined podium and poster session provides an excellent interactive platform for researchers to present their own research work undertaken in collaboration with the wider Leeds City Region community and receive further recognition.
Prizes will be awarded for the three best poster presentations, judged by public and patient representatives. Please make your poster as accessible as possible.
Poster presenters will also be invited to pitch to a professional film crew who are attending the event.

Translate in Action Conference: Wednesday 25 April 2018
Dr Kate Allatt – a patient experience expert – is providing the keynote presentation at the upcoming Translate in Action event on 25 April 2018.
Super-fit Kate spectacularly recovered from a massive brainstem stroke leaving her unable to move absolutely anything – but still thinking, feeling, seeing and hearing – like being buried alive, she was diagnosed with Locked In Syndrome.
Kate has won an Extraordinary Women Award, and wrote an internationally published book, founded and voluntarily ran a global digital charity, ADVOCACY, and pioneered the successful research – @ESCAPS_study (£250,000) – via an opportunist tweet, which is now going multi-centre.
Kate is also pursuing strategies to improve the way emergency care clinicians spot the early signs of young stroke. She is collaborating on research to develop stroke motivation interventions and strategies to make communication the 5th vital sign in ICU.
Kate delivers TEDx talks and regularly speaks at or delivers workshops. She is a prolific health influencer on Twitter (@kateallatt), an international media commentator and blogs for The Huffington Post.
Kate was made an Honorary Doctorate Litterarum by Sheffield Hallam University – their highest award and considered beyond a PhD – for her ongoing global influencing work in stroke advocacy/research since her own illness in 2010.
