Please note the slot is 10 minutes and 5 for discussion.

 

Advice:

  1. MAXIMUM of 10 slides.  More is NOT better – I can promise you with 100% certainty
  2. Do not spend 5 minutes introducing the topic – we are all paediatric surgeons here as a rule so have background knowledge
  3. FINISH with a CONCLUSION and a CLEAR MESSAGE
  4. Chose an amusing/ironic title – an SSPS tradition – keep the audience guessing what your talk is about until you start …..
  5. PRACTICE YOUR TALK with someone senior to you who can constructively criticise so it is both INTERESTING And ON TIME.  One of James Andrews/ Gregor Walker/Lisa Steven/Claire Clark need to see it before you present it to the nation please
  6. PRACTICE AGAIN…..
  7. There will be judges and a prize for best presentation that is usually extraordinarily generous and prestigious so I direct you to Point 5 and 6 above….
