Presentation Guidelines

The aim of the presentation is to highlight interesting education points for all attendees and it is not intended to be stressful, or competitive. We aim to have a relaxed meeting with lots of discussion, participation and fun whilst learning together.

Each case will be allocated approximately 15minutes, made up of presentation and discussion time. To allow for adequate discussion all presentations will be strictly kept to time – please keep this in mind when preparing your presentation.

All presentations should include: 

• A title slide   
• Full case study information   
• The initial slides should be dedicated to patient history, management, treatment etc   
• The remaining slides should include a summary of your case, discussion points of learning areas, and details of your literature review.

While we do not mandate the number of slides, we recommend 6-8 slides for the case report and 4-6 slides for the discussion. You will be provided with a PowerPoint template to use as all presentations will be filmed/recorded for reproduction on the APEG website for training purposes.  

Please keep your presentations anonymous by not including identifying information such as DOB, Hospital or identifying photos etc. It is each fellow’s responsibility to contain the correct consent from the patients. If you do not wish for your case to be filmed or recorded you need to advise the Secretariat prior to the meeting.

Please note, not all Fellows attending the Fellows School will present. You will be notified via email about the outcome of your application.
