wall poster

wall poster

A term for a large glossy wall hanging in an office or examination, which generally provides information relevant to the tasks taking place in that room or department, and is often disease or procedure specific. Wall posters often contain checklists, algorithms, schematics, definitions, indications, contraindications and so on, which act as reminders and provide for incidental learning. Wall posters may be provided by sponsoring pharmaceutical companies, which may have biased information favouring their products.
