Restless and bored nurses call for update of 10-part medical training PowerPoint presentation
Colorful new look includes professional PowerPoint animation and bold illustrations

For the presenters of Agouron Pharmaceuticalโs Whatโs Your Plan program, it was becoming increasingly frustrating that their audiences of nurses and healthcare providers were growing more restless and bored through their 10-part HIV-treatment training presentation. So the pharmaceutical firm turned to The Presentation Team to re-invigorate their bland and dry PowerPoint with a bold new look.
Highly clinical in its look and feel, the original presentation featured a flat olive background with bland yellow titles in an ordinary arial font. Although the presentation was dominated by text, a small amount of traditional vector clipart added some visual variety, but appeared too dated. By simply adding new graphics and basic animation, the presenters are freshly motivated and the audiences are more attentive to this educational presentation.
Templates can be eye-catching and professional

Before:
Lengthy bullet points over a dull background

After:
Although we kept the bullet points, a change in font style and type style as well as the placement of an eye-catching illustration goes further in communicating the points of a successful medical regiment program.
The end result was a fresh new look that motivates audiences and maintains their attention…translating to more effective healthcare!
