The opportunity to have so much dialogue with the other members on the course was invaluable and not something I was expecting to come away with. Michelle and Anu create a very supportive, caring, open environment and this allowed the group to feel in a safe space to be vulnerable and share our experiences, concerns, etc. I also found the simulation day was a great confidence booster. The talk by Louise was excellent and has certainly changed some of the language I will usewith my patients and their families.
