Poster Competition 2026

We’re updating our website

We are currently updating the ARC KSS website to reflect our new funding and the changes it brings to our programme of work. These changes will take place over the course of the next few months.

Please bear with us while we work behind the scenes to make these improvements. We thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, if you need help finding anything, please contact spft.arcksscommunications@nhs.net

We would like to congratulate all researchers who submitted a poster to the competition, held as part of Research Week 2026.
