We are going to ask you to teach two lessons to a small group (2 to 5 students), both sessions are to be pitched at students on their first FAW course.
We are happy for you to choose which two sessions you would like to deliver. Please choose two, from the following list. Wherever possible you should make the teaching practical and keep the students involved
- Anaphylaxis

- Unconsciousness

- Heart attack and angina

You can make use of a standard classroom, which will be equipped with PC, PowerPoint, screen and white board.
Where possible make your lesson interactive and interesting. At least one of your sessions must have considerable practical content for the students. Remember most students do not learn well from simply being lectured at. Aim to run sessions of about 15 minutes.
We look forward to meeting you on the day of your course.
