Past students have said...
“Brilliantly engaging lecturing style. Excellent breadth of cases. Very well presented and helpful talk. Courses like this always provoke learning or thinking about topics from a different perspective and that is very valuable particularly if you've been practising for a while and might be a bit set in your ways.”
“Good combination of talks, representing whole pathway from diagnosis to care home.”
