Much of course not relevant to drs eg use of hoist/ helping patient up from seating position/ use of banana board) and more tailored to HCSWs and nursing staff.

I realise time is limited- however I do wish we had more time for the practical- for example I watched the use of the defibrillator but did not get a chance to use it myself. Overall Paul was great. I think more effort should be made to help people park- I paid just park £20 for the day and still got a £70 penalty because i apparently parked in the wrong bay- I see that had I booked my course directly, your site did mention this and alternatives- however I came via an agency and wasn’t aware of your site/communication- so in future- maybe even though an agency books, we should get a link to the course and its details( parking, no lunch provided, bring your own writing materials etc). Overall I got a lot out of the course, so thank you
