What an amazing week in Edinburgh with all things pelvic health. Fantastic 2 days the POGP! Really honoured to present our research there and even more to share the research Prize. Thank you for the support SPCR @nihrspcr.bsky.social and @uniofnottingham.bsky.social

💥 Another top tip from Simon Cain on delivering a great flash talk: 🎯 Use your final slide for impact — leave the audience with a clear message, image, or call to action they’ll remember long after your talk ends. #SPCRTrainee 🔗 spcr.nihr.ac.uk/events/spcr-trainees-event-2025

🎙️ Great insights from Simon Cain Westbourne Training & Consulting on delivering an impactful flash talk! ✨ 🧠 Key tip: aim for one slide per key element - too much info on screen can distract rather than engage your audience. #SPCRTrainee 🔗 spcr.nihr.ac.uk/events/spcr-trainees-event-2025
