Previous Course Attendees said:
“I really enjoyed the course - it was a comfortable, informal, safe space.”
“I have gain confidence in my skills and learnt strategies to break back news. Don’t fluff around a subject, be honest & direct.”
“The morning session was a great opportunity to talk and discuss experiences and thoughts. I rarely get a chance to do reflective group work, it was great. The SIM in the afternoon was useful to hone practice and learn from others.”
“It was very good exposure to watch other people deliver bad news. It was similarly good to watch myself back and see areas where I can improve.”
