1. Before you start A few bits of advice for presentations:
Not too much writing – slides full of writing distract the audience, you want them listening to you not staring at a screen
Use images as prompts – an image paints a thousand words
Make it interactive – involving the audience keeps them concentrating and interested, ask questions and get them involved

2. Enter Job role here i.e. Specialist Occupational Therapist
All About Me

Insert your Trust logo here, to do this:
Click View  Slide Master

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:

6. Common Conditions and Scenarios
Discuss common conditions and scenarios that you regularly encounter as part of your role
Ask the learners what they know about your area of work
Ask if they know anyone with such a condition – 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

7. Practical Demonstration
Using props to break up the presentation is really effective i.e. Parkinson Gloves, Age suit, beer goggles, blood pressure testing, UV lights, stethoscopes, this allows the students to get practically involved
Demonstrate equipment, how it is used and the reason you would use it
Allow the students to then try out the equipment and techniques demonstrated
