Course testimonials
Really enjoyed the entire presentation & the speaker kept the audience engaged. Very interesting & relevant to my work – thoroughly enjoyed all of presentation.
A hugely influential course to challenge existing attitudes/ cultures amongst our team. Thank you
I loved the session, it was so insightful and brilliantly delivered. It was extremely refreshing to spend some time out going into depth on this topic, after a really challenging year. I've heard so many people speak highly about this course, and so it was great to finally experience it for myself.
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.
