About The Network

The SPHeRE Network is a national network connecting research, policy and practice in population health and health services. It brings together those who produce and use research and welcomes members who are interested in developing a dialogue between research and health action.

We are actively seeking to connect the various stakeholders in population health and health service research in Ireland. The network creates opportunities for developing research which supports the information needs of those involved in policy and service provision.

Aims of the SPHeRE Network
The SPHeRE Network aims to:

Promote interchange between researchers, service providers and policymakers to support better use of research

Influence research priorities so that they better reflect the needs of the public, policymakers and service providers

Provide a collective voice for researchers in the wider policy debate

Promote issues of common interest to funders, universities and Government

It does this by:

Representing the research community to Government, funding organisations, the management community and other professional bodies by initiating and leading discussion and responding to policy issues

Organising an annual conference, periodic seminars and policy events to promote research findings and provide opportunities for dialogue between researchers, service providers and policy makers; details of upcoming events are available on our events page

Building international links with equivalent bodies

Join the SPHeRE Network

You can join the SPHeRE Network mailing list by simply filling in the application form below. Mailings to the Network are infrequent and typically consist of notices and registration calls for upcoming SPHeRE or HRB events (conferences, seminars, symposia etc.), recruitment calls for the SPHeRE Programme, and very occasional notices that will have broad appeal to those in PHPHSR and allied fields.

You can update your information using the link provided on every Network mailing. The data is currently stored on a MailChimp mailing list. Your data will only be used for SPHeRE mailings and never shared with third parties (apart from our mailing service).

You can remove yourself from the mailing list at any time; all Network emails have an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Removal from the list is instantaneous, but any scheduled mailings in the queue at the time of unsubscribing will still go to you.

Poster Layout:

Posters must be portrait, AO in size and printed in colour on a single sheet for ease of mounting to the poster boards.

Create posters that are as professional and visually appealing as possible. e.g. using a font size that can be read from an arm’s length from the poster. It is not acceptable to post the pages of a research article in place of a poster.

Poster presentations should include:
(a) introduction;
(b) description of the method or technique used;
(c) results obtained;
(d) discussion of results;
(e) conclusion/recommendation(s);
(f) references;
(g) acknowledgment of support - please ensure that you include details of funding bodies and relevant logo.

In-Person Poster Presentations:

All poster presenters will be responsible for mounting and dismounting their own displays. If you cannot be in attendance, please ask a colleague or friend to display your poster for you.

Velcro will be provided (no other adhesives may be used).

All posters must remain on the designated poster board for the entire duration of the conference.

Posters must be mounted on the poster board in Exam Hall, RCSI before 9am, on Thursday 19th February, and collected by 6pm on the same date.

Please be available next to your poster during tea breaks and lunchtime to take questions.
