This book will teach healthcare professionals how to craft more effective and engaging PowerPoint® presentations, taking readers through the preparation of a presentation from concept to delivery. The book is based on decades of the authors' personal experiences teaching PowerPoint® and slide design. The text is based on a sound understanding of educational theory. Readers will learn how to present interesting and visually appealing slides. In particular, the focus will be on designing professional-looking slides that convey a clear and memorable message.
The book will be valuable to any healthcare professional required to put together presentations, whether a high-flying academic doctor or nurse presenting their research at international conferences, a trainee giving a talk at an in-house educational session, or a student preparing a presentation as part of their course work.
