You need to talk to the staff in the practice and choose a treatment to research. It would

be ideal to choose one of the more complex treatments so that your instruction booklet

will have more detail.

Plan it – think about what you need to do and how you are going to do it.

Think about the structure of your instructions to assist with a treatment and write a brief

in your notepad.

Once you have finished your draft, proof read it and decide where images or diagrams

might help make the information clearer to enhance the presentation.
