Course Feedback :

“It was very relevant to everyday practice and it was actually something I could take away and put into practice in my work place.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this course and found the information incredibly useful and presented in a way that was easy to understand. It will allow me to put forward new protocols within our anaesthetic regime and help other members of the team increase in confidence.

“The course was set out well, and relevant points within each section reiterated and expanded my existing knowledge. The sessions on CPCR were particularly clear and very helpful. This course has increased my confidence in an area which I have always found challenging.
