What Our Participants Say
Great learning environment – felt supportive and safe. Great prep info provided. Delish food 🙂
Thanks Bec for being a great facilitator. Felt very at ease by the second day after practice.
Very awesome & friendly. Clinical experience & knowledge is very comprehensive. Great labs & its nice to have a grasp of how it feels to cannulate. I think its great, as is. I like that the group was small too. This was the only face to face course within miles, so grateful it is here.Â
Feel confident to commence cannulation for patients. Small numbers are great/personal and good attentive educator.
Both presenters had a clear way of communicating – both presenters were open to any questions – beginner + advanced. First day, but overall good amount of time on each area, good amount of content. Food tasty, healthy + plentiful, loved learning today – feel much better about paediatrics.
Approachability of presenters clarity of communication & answers to questions. Relevant anecdotes.
Easy going, created good environment to learn + develop skills. Very enjoyable. Thank you!
