Guidelines for presentations and publications.

Abstract

The oral and written presentation of work arising from clinical practice, service development, quality improvement projects and research is presently encouraged and supported. Because this work may involve consumers, staff and the organization, it is important that proper consideration is given to how the work is disseminated, including any ethical implications. There is a need to ensure that consumers, staff, facilities, the organization and intellectual property are protected from any potential concerns that may arise. This research note provides protocols and a checklist that may be of interest and may be relevant for clinicians and researchers to review and appraise their work before oral or written presentation.
