Showcase your local projects, share knowledge, and stimulate debate at the next annual ACCP conference.

The Louise Houslip Award was introduced to memorialise Louise Houslip, a trainee ACCP who was tragically lost at sea during a diving expedition. Louise was passionate about research, continually striving for improvement in all that she did, and so it was agreed this award would be an annual event, given for the best work in research and service improvement within the ACCP community.

This year will be the 2nd annual Louise Houslip Award and FICM are now accepting Poster Presentation submissions for the FICM ACCP Conference at Plymouth University on 14 June 2024.

We are giving ACCP teams a chance to present their research, audit, case reports and practice innovations, that demonstrate progression in the world of ACCPs and Critical Care.

Your presentation will be printed and displayed at the conference and the poster deemed to be the best by the committee will be the winner of the Louise Houslip Award and awarded at the Conference.

Send your submission to contact@ficm.ac.uk by 31 May 2024 and confirm your attendance at the conference when you submit your entry.
