7. Assessment
7.3. Health Promotion Poster
In groups of 3, you should produce a poster on a health-promotion theme and deliver a 10 minute presentation of the poster on day 9 or 10 to the GP tutor, the other students and any other members of the practice team available. The topic should be decided in consultation with the GP tutor, but should be on a health promotion theme they have observed during their placement. You should be prepared to answer questions. The GP tutor will give feedback and grade the presentation; each group of 3 students should normally receive the same grade. Your tutor should discuss your grade with you and suggest areas where you might improve.
You need to submit your work on QM+ and email it to your GP tutor on or before the deadline for your group as below.
Please note that each individual student should upload their poster to QM+, not one per group.
Poster presentation day to be agreed with tutor – suggest day 9 or 10.
Group AB Submission Deadline: Day 10 27/2/2025
Group CD Submission Deadline: Day 10 6/3/2025
If you require an extension for your poster, please make an application on MySIS no later than 12pm of the deadline date above.
Any request for an extension received after this time will need to provide good reason as to why the claim could not have been submitted earlier.
Self-certification claims will only allow a maximum of 7 days extension. If you need 14 days, then you must submit a standard claim with evidence.
Students who do not pass the assessment will be required to complete a remediation task in order to progress through the course.
