Poster competition
This year, the FPA poster competition was organised by the FPA Research Committee. The team is a group of skilled PAs all working in the field of research and proving how much of a difference it makes. Research can come in many forms, and there is growing evidence that clinical research improves patient outcomes and wellbeing. It benefits the overall healthcare system, the wider workforce and patients.
Abstract submissions were received from both qualified FPA members and PA student members.
