"The anecdote that I begin with was probably my main inspiration for choosing air pollution as the topic for my presentation. Seeing a tangible and quite extreme effect of pollution at the very beginning of my medical career impacted me in a way I hadn’t really considered until commencing this project. Taking a look at the almost invisible factors that affect my own health as well as that of our patients is a scary prospect to face, and one that has really been on my mind since moving to London in September. 

After my own research and talking to local experts, I decided that a clear and easy-to-follow presentation would be the best method of delivering my findings, so I used a basic structure of; what the problem was, what has been done about it, and whether or not this had worked. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to practise a completely different aspect of communication skills from what we commonly do in medical education, and the opportunity to field questions and discuss the issue with the panel in the second presentation was an excellent way to finalise all that I had learnt throughout the process."

Marking Criteria:

Please fill out the forms sent to you to record the student presentation marks and feedback, confirm their attendance at the tutorials and also to nominate any outstanding presentations to be considered for the GPCD prize. 

The assessment will be marked as Outstanding/Very Good/Pass/Refer by the GP tutor. We would appreciate all GP tutors to give more detailed feedback on the presentations to each students in the free text box on the marking form. You may like to comment on the following criteria: Information, structure, presentation skills, time management and group skills. 

It is mandatory for all students to complete the presentation to pass the GPCD module. Please contact the module lead with the details of any students who did not attend or complete their presentation.

GPCD prize nominations:

Please select the best of the outstanding presentations to nominate for the QMUL GPCD prize longlist.  We would not expect more than 20 presentations to be put forward from the whole cohort.  Please do not feel obliged to nominate a student for a prize. We would expect that a nomination for a prize would be a truly exceptional presentation demonstrating how real change can be implemented in primary care or in the local community.   

Students who have shown evidence of critical or original thinking and who have been innovative with their data collection, analysis and recommendations should be highlighted. These nominations will be reviewed by the academic team (assessing the slides and the comments given by the GP tutors) to select a shortlist of 6-8 students to give their presentations again to a judging panel for the prize.
