Thank you to the paramedics who kindly got in touch to let us know how they found the sessions and for your time in attending these CPD sessions. “Incredibly engaging, information was pitched at the right level and showed a good understanding of the ambulance service and what we need to know. Personal experiences made it even more tangible and realistic to us. The feedback from staff who attended the sessions has been overwhelmingly positive” “Absolutely brilliant. I learnt so much. Having professional and personal experience was great and really aided my understanding. Just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU. It was truly awesome! I have never seen a group so engaged in a session before! The feedback has been enormously positive from everyone.” “A very well-presented session, efficient yet human, about a subject I knew too little about. Lots of useful, practical information.” “I did not know a lot about Addison’s disease, so this really helped develop my understanding of the disease and how ambulance crews can assess and treat people with it.” Feedback Form If you have attended one of our training courses - please complete our feedback form to let us know what you thought, any more information we can provide you with and how we can improve.
