Testimonials from participant feedback:

I enjoyed the case studies, how the teachers were answering questions, were able to share their own experiences in hopes to help us deliver more effective care for our patients.

I really enjoyed the interactive elements in the course, the clinical scenarios and question answer format with detailed explanations. I learn better via interactive methods, rather than sitting and listening to lectures.

Easy CPD tracking, good and knowledgeable lecturers, some good interactive scenarios towards the end to put the learning together and apply it.
