The following provides some guidance on the requirements of coursework 1 for 7136SOH
Transforming Healthcare Business Case Project which you will develop eewith tutorial
support from your project supervisor.
The purpose of the individual presentation is to establish that you have identified a
healthcare management problem and analysed its underlying cause(s), using relevant
literature and management tools to determine the relevance and viability of your business
case project.
Coursework 1: 20-minute Individual Presentation (10 credits)
You will be required to prepare and submit the following demonstrate achievement of
learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3:
An individual 20-minute live presentation (in-person), ± 2 minutes. Submit supporting
PowerPoint slides of no more than 12 slides, providing an overview of your analysis
and evaluation of the health care management problem/issue, defining it using
management theory/ tools, the underlying root cause(s), stakeholder analysis,
providing justification for why it should be prioritised as a management problem and
addressing ethical issues. To be submitted no later than 6:00pm on Friday 9th of June
2023, and all viva’s done on or before 6:00pm on Friday 16th of June 2023. The live inperson presentation will also assess your presentation skills and ability to convince a
Health Board on the need for your proposed business case project.
The information should clearly demonstrate:
• Critical analysis and evaluation of the healthcare management problem/issue.
• Critical evaluation of the management problem using management tools.
• Critical evaluation of the management problem, providing justification why it
should be prioritised considering ethical issues.
The presentation will be live and in-person and should fully complement the material
contained within the slides submitted, which should be designed professionally. Please
remember that in a presentation of 12 slides it will be difficult to contain all the information
about the healthcare management problem, but the aim is to prioritise key information that
demonstrates your depth of knowledge and level of thinking.
7136SOH 2324MAYSEP
Intended Module Learning Outcomes to be achieved in this coursework are:
1. Critically analyse a current practice-based management problem or issue, which impacts
upon patient care or health care delivery, critically appraising the evidence to justify the
need for the project
2. Critically demonstrate understanding of the ethical issues involved in addressing the
management problem and undertaking the business case project, and in so doing gain the
necessary ethical approval and first stage approval to proceed to implementation.
3. Critically justify the business case project orally
Structure of the Presentation
It is important to carefully consider the content and format of the presentation. Information
should be clear and concise. You should consider the needs of the audience (Health Board)
who should be able to follow and understand the content of your presentation and
justification for decisions reached.
The PowerPoint presentation must not exceed 12 slides, including reference slides and any
additional slides that are included will not be marked. The first slide must include a clear title
of the project, with your name, student ID number, module code and title and course name.
The second slide is likely to offer the aims or outline of the presentation. The penultimate
slide will offer a conclusion and recommendations. The final slide will provide a reference list
of all citations referred to in the presentation.
The time allowed for the in-person live presentation should in total be 20 minutes (± 2
minutes). The information delivered should be appropriately paced, complementing the
material used on the slide. Do not overestimate how much you can deliver in 20 minutes,
remember too much information will be overwhelming for your audience in the timeframe.
Prepare a presentation with impact, so that key messages are given.
Your presentation should begin with information about yourself, and brief background related
to the module and must include your name and student ID number. This will be followed by
an introduction and aims of the presentation, outlining the proposed structure to guide the
audience. At the end you will need to summarise the main points and reach some form of
conclusion/recommendations related to the management problem.
The main part of the presentation (slides 3-10) will demonstrate achievement of the learning
outcomes 1 to 3.
The presentation should refer to seminal journal articles from the academic literature, grey
literature and policy documents in identifying the health management problem or issue using
management theories and tools and also providing a justification for why it should be
prioritised as a healthcare management problem. The references used should be cited at per
APA Reference style, on the relevant slide. In addition, the final slide will provide the
reference list of citations. This should adhere to the Coventry University Guide to Referencing
in APA style.
Preparing the PowerPoint slides
7136SOH 2324MAYSEP
• The PowerPoint presentation should be designed and structured professionally.
• The opening slide should identify the title of your project, your name, Student ID
number and course name/ module code.
• Review and prepare a summary of each section of the project. This will help you
decide on the key information/ messages that you wish to convey to your
audience in demonstrating achievement of the learning outcomes. You do not
need to include everything. Use an appropriate number of slides/elements and
allocate headings/content to each. Do not overcrowd the slides with too much
information, the notes pages should provide examples to illustrate points,
demonstrating depth of understanding.
• Be consistent with the background/layout/format of slides/elements/ animation
• Think carefully about the design features. Clear typeface is important.
• Do not vary the typeface excessively. Use both capitals and lower-case text.
• The font size should not be smaller than 18 point. The space between lines should
be larger than single spacing. Text should be legible, uncluttered, and consistent.
• Colour schemes should be decided upon, two/three colours might be an
appropriate number to consider.
• Any illustrations should be presented clearly and labelled/ referenced
appropriately. The use of the Coventry University logo should be referenced.
• Once complete practice your presentation to ensure that it can be delivered at an
appropriate pace in the 20 minutes.
• Ask for constructive feedback from a housemate or family member and use it to
improve the presentation.
Preparing for the live in-person presentation
Please consider the clarity of your voice, pace of your delivery. It is not the quantity of
information in your delivery but the quality of that information and ability to demonstrate
depth of understanding.
Think about the venue that would be suitable for your presentation and work you’re your
supervisor to book the venue ahead of time. Ensure to find an environment that is free of
distractions, background noise and interruptions whilst you are making your presentation.
Any disturbances or distractions are likely to impact on the clarity of the delivery are likely to
impact on the markers ability to follow your presentation.
• Ensure that you have sight of a timer to ensure that the 20 minutes is used effectively.
Any parts of the recording after 22 minutes will not be considered in the marking.
• Ensure you have a bottle or glass of water available.
• Ensure that your mobile phone is switched off or on silent/flight/focus mode.
• Inform others who may disturb you at the timing of the recording to minimise any
disruption.
• Ensure that you make adequate arrangements for any children that live with you to
ensure that they are being looked after during the presentation as they may not be
allowed into the venue.
Rather than reading directly from a pre-prepared script, you may want to have a series of
bullet points that you speak to ensuring that all you want to cover is addressed. Reading from
a script does not necessarily demonstrate the depth of understanding required and that you
are the author of the work.
7136SOH 2324MAYSEP
In preparing the presentation, you should read it through with a critical eye, recognising
aspects that you have done well and others that could be improved. Highlight anything that
you have written that you are not sure about, or which you feel you could have been justified
more fully.
Plagiarism and Cheating
There is always a great temptation for some students to pass off other people’s published
work as their own and so commit plagiarism. There is difficulty in defining plagiarism but if
examiners find that your work has been cited directly from books and journals, or another
student’s work, without acknowledgement then a prima facia case of plagiarism will be
investigated. The University takes this very seriously and if the case is proven then it is highly
likely that the student’s work will be failed. It can result in expulsion from the University. To
avoid this you should remember that:
• It is legitimate to summarise/ paraphrase the ideas of others from a range of source
material (books, journal articles, documents etc.) provided that you use your own
words. When doing so, you should reference your primary source.
• If you do use phrases, sentences or paragraphs from published sources (direct
quotations) within the presentation, then you must indicate these as such.
How do you cite material in oral presentations?
Please refer to the document on the Aula web regarding how best to cite your sources during
the presentation.
Marking/ Moderation of the Individual Presentation
The attached feedback form will be used in marking the presentation. The tutors marking the
presentation slides will be from the module team and may not always be your supervisor.
Therefore, do not make assumptions about their level of knowledge of the project topic.
There is a two-week turnaround for the marking and internal moderation of this assessment.
The key issue the marker will be considering is your overall performance related to
achievement of the learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3.
Were you able to articulate a clear justification for the healthcare management problem and
the need to prioritise it?
Internal moderation will be undertaken once all assessments have been marked, reviewing
the marking of the presentations between the markers to ensure consistency and fairness.
The presentation slides will be made available to any external examiner to review alongside
the feedback given and mark awarded.
Submission of Coursework through Turnitin via the Assignment Link on Aula
You will be required to submit a copy of your PowerPoint presentation as a single document
through the Submission link on the AULA module web by Friday 9th of June 2023, no later than
6:00pm.
