What Is the Showcase Theatre?
The Showcase Theatre is a live presentation theatre located on the Clinical Pharmacy Congress show floor.
Selected delegates deliver short talks and lead discussions focused on projects, findings and examples of good practice from across clinical pharmacy. Sessions are practical, experience led and focused on learning that can be applied in real world settings.
The Showcase Theatre bridges the gap between poster presentations and larger conference stages, offering a supportive step up for those ready to share their work with a wider audience.
Who Is the Showcase Theatre For?
The Showcase Theatre is open to all pharmacy professionals who have valuable work to share.
It is particularly suited to:
- Pharmacy professionals presenting for the first time
- Delegates who have previously presented a poster and want to take the next step
- Individuals or teams with a strong project, service improvement or set of findings
- Those who want to lead peer led discussion and share learning
You do not need extensive speaking experience. What matters is the quality, relevance and value of the work you want to present.
