What People Said About This Training
“It was really good to have a space where i didn’t feel silly for not already knowing all of this, and for it to be perfectly ok to ask questions or for clarification.”
I was so impressed and have learnt so much from the 2 hours. The handout training pack was also brilliant quality and will help me to maintain my knowledge and refer back to accurate information.
“Think this training should be mandatory for HCP’s [Healthcare Practitioners].”
“I have attended quite a few training sessions over zoom since lockdown happened and this has to be the best one i have attended so far. It was interesting, interactive, and very well planned out. I am a trainer within my current role and would say it has really given me food for thought after attending the training.”
