The event was extremely well organised and paced throughout the day — I honestly wasn’t expecting anything anywhere near that level! The mix of quizzes, PowerPoint slides and case studies worked really well and kept everything engaging. I also really enjoyed hearing from all the different speakers and learning from their varied expertise. It made for a very informative and enjoyable experience overall."Nicola Turner, Occupational Therapy Student, Wrexham University"The masterclass today was extremely insightful and full of information to influence practice and build knowledge. Not many training sessions out there at the same level and quality. Probably one of the best training days I've ever had!"Jenny Streather, Clinical Lead OT for Care Homes/TACP, Boston PCN"This training day is far superior to any others. It not only improves skills and knowledge but bring the subject to life, giving real-life experience.It delivers the impact of not providing the correct chairs or tolerating poor posture, importantly encouraging the assessor to consider the full 24 hours, bed, shower, and chair.
