The Health and Safety Group Reviews

Sadly was looking forward to this course but unfortunately it did not deliver in many ways. * The course started late due to issues with a tutor not replying to Mrs Butler request to contact her? * Candidates logged in late and we had to wait for them ( must add that you did state on your booking receipt if you are late to register you would miss the course). * Very disorganised lesson planning discussion more between Mrs Butler and Lola catching up on Lola’s holiday in Ibiza. * Poor connection with Zoom high pitch screeching noise, loss of candidates connection noted. * Josh was brought to the lesson ( substitute for original person booked but did not show up) very short time was rushed to true/ false questions. * No clear learning formate taught learnt more from part 1 certificate which was free on line. Aware from working with Autistic patients time, consideration is key but did not really learn anything new. Never like giving negative feedback along with my other two colleagues who also attended today agreed for such an expensive courses like the Oliver McGowan courses would like to learn more than demonstrated today. Hopefully will learn more on the one day course we have booked to complete this learning criteria.

Too much to read before being able to move on to quiz

Long drawn out day , didn’t learn anything new ,

Some of the questions are beyond vague and unhelpful with 4 possible and reasonable answers but only asked to provide three - so not sure which one they think is wrong!

Good course, the co facilitators were excellent.

Poorly executed . John and Paul were awful and late .

The group was too large. The speaker allowed too much discussion. Not enough control. Little to no refreshments. BLS and anaphylaxis was very short. Moving and handling should be in a ward setting. Hoist had no battery life and was not checked by the speaker to ensure it would work. I think the course for BLS and Anaphylaxis should be a stand alone course. I had no need for anything else.

I was a bit disturbed by the information relayed to us by the course tutor when talking about radicalisation. She told the class that radicalisation was the far right? I was waiting for the lady to finish the sentence with something like “ and also the far left” or explaining it didn’t have to be political , that it could be religious etc . This was not forthcoming ? I found this bizarre.? I questioned the lady and asked what about other forms of radicalisation. She closed her hands and said such as? Before I could answer, she said do you mean religious? I said “no, not just religious but any form of extremist ideology, for instance the far left”She then replied yes ,but they all fall under and descend from extreme far right. I was absolutely flabbergasted…….. I found Karen engaging but and very knowledgeable in other areas. I do feel like this needs to be highlighted today. It was unhelpful to understanding the broad spectrum of radicalisation and picking out one unit as the culprit for it all …. In all honesty, it was slightly bizarre.

I feel that it would’ve been okay as a refresher course but not for someone just starting out in health care. It was not informative enough, if questions were brought forward they were shut down quite quickly if it was a different opinion or scenario to the trainer. The practical was not informative, people that had NEVER used the hoist before instead of being shown 1-1 and talked through it was just put as the client in the hoist, was done in groups of 4 while. The trainer went to the back of the room or was talking to people sat watching. We were shown a slides sheet for all of 15 seconds, not spoken or shown how to use it to move patients and no one was allowed to practice with it. We were not shown or spoken to about all different slings, how to ensure you have the right sling to fit the patient. Luckily I have been in care since leaving college and have had very in depth and good training and have a lot of experience so I know good practice but if I was new to care and that was all my training on manual handling and two slides in safeguarding etc then I would not feel confident and would request more training with a different provider.

Found it boring
