1. Before you start A few bits of advice for presentations:
Use the template well – its been put together to make preparation easy, encouraging interaction and the use visual aids
Make it interactive – involving the audience keeps them concentrating and interested, ask questions and get them involved
Use images as prompts- this paints a picture for the audience

2. Guess My Role
Enter your name here along with the Trust that you work in, adding a photo of you when you are NOT in work
Insert your Trust logo here, to do this:
Click View  Slide Master
Click on the first slide on the left
Paste the picture to this area
Click View  Normal (check it lines up ok)

3. Ice Breaker
Its really useful to have a 5-10 minute ice breaker, this helps the students join in and feel more confident in engaging with the presenter
Encourages working together
Provides a good atmosphere for learning and participation
There are plenty of examples of Ice Breakers online, Health Careers have produced this useful guide:

4. Section 1 - Who am I…
Introduce just your name and the trust that you work in
The organisation you work for (have they heard of it?)
Explain section 1 of the activity – Guess my role
Involves students asking questions after each slide (clue) but are not allowed to guess your actual role until the end of section 1

5. Clue 1 Add photos of your department or area of work
Make the photos interesting but not too easy to guess
Show equipment you may use in your role - close up shots make guessing harder and hold the concentration of the audience
Answer any questions regarding your role without giving the game away – it’s a good idea to ‘plant’ a few questions with the teacher at the beginning just in case you need support

6. Clue 2 Use pieces of equipment that are not obvious to your role
Possibly use pictures of conditions that you may treat in your role – this could be skin conditions, allergy reactions , fractures, x-ray results, diagnostic finds. Remember to ensure that patient data and confidentiality are respected and adhered to at all times
Pass them around the room to create conversation
Answer more questions

7. Clue 3
Now its time to give it away, use a clue that will enable the group to possibly guess your role
Use the next slide to ‘take a vote’ on what your occupation is!

8. Am I… A. B. C.
(Use similar roles when deciding on the other options, this will educate the learner in the different roles within healthcare rather than assume everyone is a ‘Nurse’

9. Share a story
Ask if they know anyone that may have had contact with someone who has the same role as you – its surprising how much learners will want to share a story of a relative / friend who may have suffered from a health condition connected to your role

10. Section 2 - A Day Being Me
Add a photo of you when you in the workplace, in uniform if you wear it and possibly with your team

11. Lets all get involved
Carry out an activity that you would do in your role, making it interactive for the students
Use props such as an age suit, beer goggles, blood pressure testing, UV lights, stethoscopes, liquid thickeners, bandages,
Demonstrate equipment, how it is used and the reason you would use it allowing students to have a go too
Use videos to show equipment in use, or of an experiment taking place with the use of equipment you take along with you on the day

12. The difference I make
‘Before and after treatment’ pictures are good to use to show the difference you make every day in your role
Use example pictures or samples, asking the students to suggest what the ailment may be
Use photos showing the difference between normal and an abnormality, disease or injury etc.

13. My Average Day
Possibly give a scenario or story of something that has happened within your working day that would be really interesting to that age group
Use photos or props
A quick two minute video of members of your team giving a quick summery explaining the best part about being in this particular role is another idea

14. Section 3 So How Did I Get Here?
Give a short explanation to why you chose this role in the NHS
When did you first decide you wanted to do this – possibly use a few photos of you at this age
Explain what the service you provide means to you
Benefits of working in the NHS, e.g. pension, holidays, helping others

15. How to Become a (enter your role)
Talk about the current entry criteria for the role
Experience / Voluntary work benefits if applicable to this role
Mention other attributes that could be beneficial to this role e.g. patience, compassion, caring, team player, flexible
Recommend any external websites or resources where they can find more information: e.g. Health Careers, Royal College of Nursing, College of Occupational Therapists

16. Design a ‘ME’ person In Groups
At the end of the session sometimes an activity is a great way to round up the information that has been given in order to confirm the learning that has taken place,
In Groups
draw an ideal NHS staff member
decide on their job role and label the qualities they need to possess

17. One that’s already been done
Just wanted to show an example of the fun involved with this workshop as well as important learning
