Course Feedback

When asking participants about the most useful element of the course, there was a range of themes emerging including: ‘Easy to digest information. Understanding what my role is and the resources available. Understanding the key public health messages that are needed to be shared. Recognising and understanding how the training could fit into existing roles.

I enjoyed the course, the style in which it was delivered, very informative and lots of interesting discussions were had in the room.

The trainer had a relaxed and informal approach however very passionate and thorough in delivering the content.
