ABSTRACT: The practical dissemination of new knowledge is not given adequate attention despite large investment in undertaking high-quality research and the desire for evidence-based practice. It is important that those involved in knowledge translation and continuing medical education understand the fundamental principles of effective presentations, whether at scientific conferences, workshops or group teaching sessions. The switch to remote presentations has made this a more challenging endeavour. We describe established presentation techniques that improve knowledge translation and how to use them in both face-to-face and remote settings.

COMMENT (NPW): Live presentation of research (whether virtual or in-person) is an important aspect of effective research communication. Would anyone like to share examples of how this has been done successfully (or unsuccessfully)?

Best wishes, Neil
