Abstract

In today's health service, doctors cannot avoid teaching or lectures. Visual aids are an important part of any successful presentation. Adequate overheads and slides can be easily made using ordinary office equipment and simple cameras. Modern computers and laser printers are also an exciting medium for producing visual aids. Nevertheless, if the talk is to achieve its purpose, good pictures must be presented in the correct way, along with an absorbing commentary. Both these aspects of presentation technique require careful preparation, but are seldom taught to medical students or junior staff as a necessary tool for their future work as doctors.
