Presentation skills

Abstract

Have you ever been asked to talk about your work? Many health professionals have. Many too, once over the feeling of being flattered and of having had their self-confidence boosted, go on to worry about how they will cope. This is especially true if they are asked to talk at a conference. Saying ‘yes’ to a request is the easy part. The more difficult bits are preparing what you have to say and then saying it. In this chapter, the whole process of preparing and giving a presentation are explored.
