Course testimonials

“It was an excellent session. Felt real and emotive in some situations. Great course.”

“Really friendly faculty, enjoyed the day which covered a lot regarding perinatal palliative care.”

“Faculty really approachable and knowledgeable. Paediatric palliative care isn’t something we get lots of teaching on so really useful to have, especially as more and more children are being diagnosed with life-limiting conditions but due to medical advancements are living longer than previously.”

“Really calm, “brave” environment with a focus on discussing learning more than focussing on the simulation itself. Well-staffed facilitators to give support and led each scenario well.”
