Students, in groups of 3, should produce a poster on a health-promotion theme and deliver a 5-10 minute presentation of the poster on day 10 or 11 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. Students 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.
Students need to submit their work on QM+ and email it to their GP tutor on or before the deadline for their group as below. Late submissions will incur penalties.
Students who do not submit and pass will not be able to sit the end of year exams until they have passed a remediation task.
