Join us for an insightful day at the PCHN Research Showcase, where our Division's leading experts will present some of their research. There is an array of research being presented, from various fields, to keep things interesting for all. The event will be taking place in a very nice venue, the Kanaris Lecture Theatre within Manchester Museum. This event is an excellent opportunity for those within the Division, as well as those external to PCHN, to learn about cutting-edge research within our Division. We'd love to see you all there!
