ISMS 23 - Call for Submissions now LIVE
*UPDATE* CLOSING DATE NOW Friday 31st March 2023

The Irish Street Medicine Symposium is a conference for all those working in the area of health and homelessness and other vulnerable groups.  For the purpose of this conference ‘street medicine’ is used interchangeably with 'inclusion health'.  The conference is to promote sharing and networking across disciplines and sectors.

So if you’re working as  a social care worker, a manager, a clinician or other practitioner, a policy maker, researcher or just interested in improving the health and wellbeing of those on the margins of society then this event is for you.
 
Share your good work NOW!

This is a call for submissions on new initiatives, examples of best practice, quality improvement or innovative projects focused on improving health and health care access for marginalized groups.

Submissions on new research or education that aims to increase knowledge and understanding in the area of Inclusion Health are also sought.
 
If you have an idea, it can be shared at this stage also - you don't need to have a fully thought out proposal or presentation 'ready to go'!  It can be developed prior to the Symposium or may fit into one of our 5 min Quick Fire / Hot Topic sessions.
