We would strongly advise that you:
For presentations in the auditorium, our highly trained technicians can provide seamless transitions between presentations using remote access software.
• always bring a backup on a CD or a USB memory stick • contact our IT department at least 24 hours in advance via email: IThelpdesk@christie.nhs.uk if you do not have a Christie encrypted memory stick, as otherwise it may not work on the day • arrive as early as possible so that any problems can be resolved
Presenters using PowerPoint should forward all presentations at least 24 hours in advance of their meeting to education@christie.nhs.uk. This ensures our technicians can make compatibility checks with our system. When emailing presentations, please ensure that they do not contain patient sensitive information (including clinical images). They should also be less than 20mb in size due to restrictions on our email server. WE CARE, WE DISCOVER, WE TEACH
