DATE CHANGE - Spring 2024 - Face to Face Conference
Nurturing Research in Practice
Due to popular demand, the MACP has decided to postpone the research conference to early 2024 and it will be a physical conference - "Nurturing Research in Practice", and aimed to develop those who are new to research.
New researchers will be given the opportunity to share their research and receive feedback on the day. So if you're just starting out, halfway through a project, recently completed research, interested in how to embed the research pillar into practice or wanting to gain insight into how to begin your research journey this excellent one-day conference is for you!
We have been very lucky to secure some excellent, well–renowned keynote speakers who will be sharing their journeys through research. Watch this space to see who the keynote speakers are!
Don’t forget to add this date to your calendar! The conference will be available to open to all MACP members.
If you’d like to present your research, submissions for abstracts are open from now, click here to submit an abstract.
Yours faithfully
