Participants will gain both theoretical and practical knowledge of successful public speaking and presenting.</span></p><p style="color:#000000;"></p><p style="color:#000000;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">The session is designed for lecturers looking to develop effective public communication skills and learn practical tips and tools to share their message and research with clarity and impact.

A theory session that integrates visual material and examples to teach participants the key principles of effective public speaking</span></p><p style="color:#000000;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">2. A practical session that provides participants constructive feedback on their recorded presentations through peer discussions, focused feedback, and personalised coaching on how to improve their communication and presentation skills.</span></p><p style="color:#000000;"></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span class="ms-rteForeColor-1" style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"><strong>A supportive learning environment</strong></span></p><p style="color:#000000;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">The course is conducted in a positive, safe and relaxed environment, encouraging participants to fearlessly explore their communication abilities.

The literature argues that transitioning to responsive and contextually relevant curricula is an important strategy to equip students to be both clinically competent and critically conscious of the contexts in which they provide healthcare. However, little is known about how students understand social responsiveness and the implications for their involvement in reframing health professions curricula to be more responsive. </span><br style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;"></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">This presentation will focus on a qualitative study that explored the experiences of undergraduate final-year medical students regarding social responsiveness. </span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">Drawing on socially just pedagogies to offer insights into the student perspectives, the students expressed that the curriculum provided opportunities to engage with concepts related to social justice and equity. However, these opportunities were less frequent and were considered less valued when compared to biomedical knowledge. Furthermore, the cultures and traditions of medicine create conditions that position students as consumers of the curriculum. Nevertheless, students expressed a desire to be co-creators in the process of the transformation of the curriculum.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:raleway;font-size:14px;">As health professions education shifts towards advancing social justice, it is essential that the curricula grant students access to the type of knowledge and skills that will empower them to tackle injustice and become responsive to health inequities. This necessitates reframing what constitutes as powerful knowledge in medical education to include social justice. Additionally, students should be considered co-constructors of their learning and key role players in transforming curricula to be socially responsive and contextually relevant.</span><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong class="ms-rteForeColor-1" style="font-family:raleway;font-size:16px;">Biography of the speaker:</strong><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span class="ms-rteForeColor-1" style="font-family:raleway;font-size:16px;"><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0" style="font-size:14px;">​</span><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0" style="font-size:14px;">Anthea Hansen is a lecturer in the Department of Health Professions Education.
