If you're wondering what to expect from these CPD sessions, please read below the feedback from previous attendees. 

  • “Incredibly engaging, information was pitched at the right level and showed a good understanding of the ambulance service and what we need to know. Personal experiences made it even more tangible and realistic to us. The feedback from staff who attended the sessions has been overwhelmingly positive”
  • “A very well-presented session, efficient yet human, about a subject I knew too little about. Lots of useful, practical information.”
