Presentation Skills Programme
Important – pre-course information and preparation
I am looking forward to meeting you and working with you to improve your presentation skills. This one-day programme is designed for Barts Health staff who are new to presenting and want to improve their skill as part of their job role.
During the programme you will get the opportunity to present and receive feedback, and to do this you need to prepare 1 presentation before attending of about 10-15 minutes.
You may not be permitted to attend the course if you do not complete the pre-course task.
Please forward the slides to l.development@nhs.net prior to the session so we can ensure you will be able to access them on the day. If you bring a spare copy please do so on an encrypted memory stick so that the Trust computers are able to access this. Please do not assume you will be able to log in to your Barts account from the training room.
My suggestion is that you focus the presentation on a work-based area that you are likely to be presenting on in the future – however, the topic is open. You can use slides that you have already prepared for other purposes, but I strongly advise that you tailor your materials to meet the needs of a mixed audience and the time slot available.
A laptop, white boards and flipcharts will be available for you – should you need any other equipment please contact the Learning & Development department to see if we are able to support you.
Please note that on certain sites we may use video equipment to record and play back your presentation in order to better inform your learning.
Best wishes,
Learning & Development Facilitator
