POSTER ASSESSMENT

Evidence should be the supporting element of all advances in practice. For health care professionals it is important for clinical governance that this evidence is disseminated at various levels including locally in your immediate working environment, in the wider context to all relevant professionals in your hospital or practice & nationally & internationally. To be effective in this task the professional requires a variety of effective communication skills.
