- Abstract
Seasons Editor's note: However experienced we may be at giving presentations, there are always ways in which we may improve. Clinical educators new to presenting learn from role models and from observing what makes a good presentation engaging, and what turns off an audience when the speaker lacks charisma. This toolbox reminds us of the necessary skills for effective presentations using educational theory and practical examples to emphasise good practice. The content focuses on the message, the visuals and the delivery. The authors stress that it is important to know your audience. Slides, if used, and oral delivery need to complement each other and not distract from core content. We have all groaned at over-packed POWERPOINT presentations and text-heavy slides that the lecturer simply reads out. As with other skills, practise leads to improvement, and this can be further enhanced by having a critical friend watch, listen, and give constructive and honest feedback. The toolbox gives examples of good visuals and active learning techniques that should help elevate didactic delivery to a stimulating and educational experience.
