Calling CCS PhD students! The 2014 symposium is around the corner...

This year the Central Clinical School postgraduate symposium is trialling a few new things. Firstly, we want to provide students with a more fun and informal setting in which to present their data. We encourage creativity so use videos, audio clips, animations, costumes, props…whatever you like!
