"I appreciated the professionalism, approachable and reaffirming nature of the trainers. I needed the laddered learning approach -it was very clear and helpful to process the information." Participant, February 2023
"The format was really well thought out with a focus on the assessment and formulation, setting the scene for day 2 and the more practical activities. I was really impressed with the breadth and depth of knowledge that Dot and Glorianne had and their ability to always have a paper/resource/clinical example to give to illustrate what was being discussed. This really helped. It was also great to share ideas with the wider group with lots of people making really useful suggestions." Participant, November 2023
