BS3082 Cardiovascular and Renal Precision Medicine: Assessment instructions
Oral Poster Presentation Assessment
Design and present a poster outlining a cardiovascular or renal biomarker and its importance in the diagnosis and treatment of disease
Precision medicine relies on validated biomarkers with which to better classify patients by their probable disease risk, prognosis and/or response to treatment. In this module, you will learn about important biomarkers in cardiovascular and renal diseases. For this assessment, you will design and present a poster outlining one cardiovascular or a renal biomarker (or one that has relevance in both contexts). You should use peer-reviewed evidence to outline its importance in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. You can present as many studies as is relevant (although ideally we would expect a minimum of five).
This poster assessment mark accounts for 25% of the overall module mark for BS3082.
Instructions: Your posters should be prepared (ideally using the PowerPoint template on Blackboard) in portrait. You will have five minutes to present your poster followed by two minutes of questions.
What you should include in your poster:
· An appropriate title
· Introduction
o An introduction to your chosen biomarker and associated disease
o How can the biomarker be used to assess the presence and/or prognosis of the disease?
o How can the biomarker be used to guide the treatment and management of the disease?
· Methods
o How did you identify the studies used in your poster? Did you hand search relevant articles? Did you take a more systematic approach using search terms to search relevant databases?
· Results
o Use relevant findings from research papers to inform. your poster and reference them on your poster
o Please add at least one figure to demonstrate that importance of the biomarker
o If you use a figure from a published manuscript. it needs to be referenced. Alternatively, you can use published data to create your own figure.
· Conclusions
o Summarise your information on your chosen biomarker
o Are there any weaknesses of this biomarker?
· Suggestions for future research
· Reference list: Please use Vancouver reference formatting.
Please add your name and student ID to the bottom right of the poster
Please consider the following when designing your poster:
· Keep your title short and to the point so as to grab the attention of the viewer
· It is very important that the text and data included in your poster follow a logical and hierarchical order. When we approach new information we tend to read from top to bottom and from left to right. Therefore, it makes good sense to lay your work out in this order
· Try not to present long and detailed sections of text. Bullet points (or other ways of separating text such as titles or headlines) can often be more effective and will maintain the reader’s interest
· Keep it simple, clear and concise. The poster needs to be eye-catching and attractive, but filling up your poster space with excess clutter can be distracting for the viewer. Ensure that all sections of text, visual images and figures are aligned correctly, and avoid big areas of space, this will ensure that the poster is well presented. Remember the poster should make a good visual impression!
· Ensure that your font size is large enough to be legible from at least one to two metres away. Individuals will soon tire of having to lean in or squint to read small text. It is best to use fonts that are easy on the eye, such as Arial, Calibri or Times New Roman.
· Maintain a consistent and clean style. throughout. Try to avoid bright, noisy or colours that clash
· If used in the correct way, figures and visual images can greatly enhance your poster, increasing both understanding and interest. However, ensure that all graphics are relevant to your work, and linked by references e.g. figures numbers in the text.
· Make sure that all diagrams are clearly captioned and easily seen. Captions should be positioned below to the diagram/figure and the figure should be placed close to the relevant text.
· Please use in text citations and include these references in the reference list section
Assessment set: Thursday 16th October 2025
Submission Deadline: 12pm noon, Thursday 6th November 2025
Poster Presentations: 1pm, Thursday 13th November 2025.
Note: The oral poster presentations will be conducted in a conference-style. format. All students are required to stand by their posters for the entire session. Assessors will circulate, inviting you to present your work and answer questions. Please note that you must remain with your poster for the full duration of the session, even after you have been assessed, to engage with visitors viewing posters and support fellow students who are still awaiting assessment.
Please use the marking criteria below to guide you with the requirements for this assessment
