Course description
This module describes how nurses can develop presentation skills to help them improve their communications with colleagues, for example in presentations at conferences and job interviews, as well as in everyday situations, such as ward handovers and informal teaching sessions. It is aimed in particular at more senior nurses (band 5 and above) who may be required to present formally. However, those starting their career should find that many of the techniques discussed are applicable to their practice.
Don't forget that you do not have to complete our two-hour learning modules all in one go. Tailor your learning to fit into your busy schedule by undertaking one or two sections at a time. You can stop and save your learning at any point and pick up where you left off when you return.
