In addition to the usual for prizes for best oral and poster, this year we’ll be awarding prizes for the best substance misuse/ addiction related presentation and poster. These prizes are sponsored by the Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA) who we thank for their support of the conference.

As well as the poster presentations we have a wide range of oral presentations and workshops. A satellite symposium entitled Health Psychology and Pharmacy Practice will be taking place on the 2nd of April. The symposium will outline some of the theories used to explain behaviour and how they have been used to design interventions to change behaviour to improve health outcomes. Speakers include Professor Ronan O’Carroll (Stirling University) and Professor Prof Marijn de Bruin (University of Aberdeen).
