Well done to the six students who successfully navigated their assessed talks this morning.
The subjects were again varied and stimulated lots of discussion and questions. The topics today were: Fad Diets / Nutrition, Health Anxiety, Korsakoff's Syndrome, Depression, Crohn's Disease and Alcoholism.
As I have requested each week, it would be great to hear from the presenters today to share their own thoughts on today's presentation session in the comments section below.
Well done all.

Week 2 presentation precis!
Today I listened to six fine presentations on a wide range of subjects.
The topics chosen for research were: Mental Health, Medical Micropigmentation, Evolution of Nursing, Obesity and the Cost to the NHS, Holistic Therapies and Coronary Heart Disease / Heart Attacks.
All presenters were extremely well prepared and had lots of recent information to hand which was great.
The feedback session for this one was interesting, as arguably two of the presenters were TOO critical of their own performances. They didn't need to be though, as they performed very well indeed.
I was impressed with the students who had just come from their interview for Uni. I know this can be a stressful time, so it is worth noting how well those students coped.
For those in attendance today, please drop a line below about what you thought about today's performance once you have processed the deliveries and the feedback.

Round 2 Presentation Summary
Today was the first round of presentations for the Thursday class and I listened to seven very solid talks. The subject area was varied and I learned a great deal from all the students.
Today's subject areas were: ADHD, Addictions, Surgical Site Infections, Atrial Fibrillation, E Coli, Eating Disorders and Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS).
I was impressed with the work put into these talks and crucially, they were all structured sensibly.
As per the Tuesday session, I asked all presenters to reflect on their own performance which enabled me to pick up on some of the comments made.
I now ask that those taking part reflect on their performances in the comment section below and perhaps you could add what you learned from the experience today.
Well done to all learners and it was really nice to see Lisa S today to brighten up the day!

Round 1 Presentation Success
Well done to the four presenters this morning who were all successful with their presentations.
I enjoyed the variety of subjects and well structured deliveries today: asthma, syphillis, diabetes and dementia.
I asked all presenters to self reflect on their performance, (good and bad) and for them to provide feedback on one other learner. This worked very well and then I provided detailed feedback too.
We were honoured today to be joined by Lorraine Dishington (who I just happen to know really well). Lorraine works as a Nurse for NHS Lothian in Edinburgh. She was extremely impressed with the standard of research and delivery on the day and was able to provide some helpful and supportive comments about the topics presented and Nursing in general. Sadly Lorraine's input is a one-off, as she wasn't working this morning and was happy to come over and hear the talks.
It was clear that the four presenters found the assessment session of great benefit and they were even heard to say they enjoyed the experience. Who knew?
Anyway, big thanks to Lorraine for travelling through from the capital today and for the interesting presentations delivered this morning. Those students who presented today, why don't you pop a few words down in the comments box below? It would be nice to hear your thoughts now you've had time to reflect on your performance.

FAQ - assessed presentation
Hello everybody,
Here are some FAQs that I often receive regarding oral presentations. I hope they help! If you have any questions in addition to these, please e mail me.
The presentations are all coming along nicely and I am looking forward to learning lots of new things!
Q. Do I have to print off slides?
A. Yes, this would be very helpful. What could go wrong? The data projector and / or PC might not be working on the day (very unlikely) but you should always consider a back-up strategy. Slides and handouts are always helpful for the audience.
Q. What is the running order on the day?
A. I will leave that up to you, I don't want to interfere too much with the presentation process.
Q. How many questions will I get and from whom?
A. Everybody will get at least two questions based on what they have talked about in their presentation. The questions can be from Mark and / or the students in the respective assessments. Students are likely to ask different questions to the assessor in this instance as they are subject specialists.
Q. Do I need to dress formally?
A. No, but don't wear flip flops, caps, sunglasses etc!
Q. Will we get feedback after?
A. Yes, of course, as always! You will reflect on YOUR performance, you will reflect on ONE of your peers and I will feedback giving the result, which hopefully will be a pass. The feedback will happen after everybody has delivered their talk.

Interesting Nursing Article - "Fall in applicants 'threatens nursing's future"
Below is an article which was brought to my attention by one of the students in the class, from the RCN site. It is worth a look. If anybody comes across any links, videos etc. worth sharing, please let me know. After all, sharing is caring!
