National Practitioner Research conference

This year’s online event took place on 16 February 2023 from 9.15 am - 4.15 pm.

The theme of the conference, 'What Difference Does Research Make?' focuses on how research helps to measure impact, contribute to policy decisions and inform practice.

Many people see research as something undertaken by academics, however, we want to inspire all career development practitioners to develop their confidence, undertake research, develop the evidence base and contribute to the professionalisation of the sector. We want you to celebrate your research and to talk about how this has informed your own and others' practice.

Research posters

Career practitioners and students engaged in research of any type are invited to present a poster at this conference. There are many benefits in doing this:

•    Tell people about your research

•    Gain interest and feedback

•    Engage in useful discussion and maybe collaboration

•    Share your findings and prepare for wider dissemination

You can be at any stage of the research process, so your poster might cover anything from early plans for the methodology or literature review, right through to findings and analysis of a near-complete research project. The aim is to inform and inspire other potential practitioner researchers
