A new way of presenting research findings is proving popular at the annual conference of the British Psychological Society’s Division of Health Psychology in York.

Eight researchers, who have already given their posters at the conference, have been asked to take part in a ‘research showcase’. There, under the title ‘Celebrating diversity in health psychology’, they are presenting their work to an audience of psychologists who have signed specially for the session.

A member of the conference organising committee told us that this new format is proving “really successful”.

At the conference this afternoon, Dr Neil Coulson will lead a question-and-answer session on using online research methods in health psychology.
