Recognising innovation and outstanding practice in community healthcare.
The successful research and evidence-based practice posters were presented to delegates on day two of the Unite-CPHVA 2025 Annual Professional Conference in November. The posters ranged from innovative research on breastfeeding grief, to creative school nursing practice to best engage young people.
After inspiring delegates, the posters were voted on using the pilot CPHVA app. The winning poster was from Eileen Perrins (pictured above, right next to CPHVA’s Asha Day), followed by two runners-up, with all receiving certificates for excellent work.
