This was my first experience of submitting a poster abstract and the process was very simple.  I would encourage anyone to submit an abstract and share their experiences with the wider community.  It's a great way to give you and your colleagues a pat on the back for your efforts.

Having submitted and presented a poster abstract for the second year running I would say I found this a worthwhile experience.  It's great to share good practice and ideas.  As a relatively new infection prevention practitioner this has helped me to gain confidence and the associated research helped enhance knowledge of the subject I concentrated on.

The prospect of presenting a poster filled me with dread, but I knew it would pay dividends in terms of my personal development and information sharing.

The preparation was hard work but the help and suport of my dedicated colleagues made the process easier.  The whole expierience was truly worthwhile and rewarding.

The abstract submission process was extremely easy and straight forward and on arrival at the event the board were clearly marked.  During my allocated presentation time, I was able to speak with a number of people about the IV Forum Group and present our finding with a recent survey.

The delegates that attended were very interested in my presentation and the overall experience was positive and most enjoyable.

The experience of poster presentation preparation was an excellent learning opportunity for me.  It taught me how to priorities the key features of the message I wanted to share and simultaneously how to make every word count.  Everyone should do one sometime even on our routine everyday experiences to share our learning.
