Course testimonials
The content amazing, the instructor delivered the information so clear
A really great day, Denis was great at delivering. Made it fun and interesting whilst getting the point across.
I really enjoyed this workshop, the first time I have encountered 'Human Factors'. Being non-clinical but on the SMT of the hospital this gave me a really good insight into managing teams and working effectively with all departments across the hospital.
I would like to thank our respected lecturer for her enthusiasm and excellent execution of the course.
Dennis was very engaging and very funny. We all thoroughly enjoyed his session.
