What our delegates say
Best lecturers - really friendly, really approachable and super knowledgeable. Excellent quality of teaching couldn’t fault all the hard work all the lecturers had put in thank you so much I learnt so much and really enjoyed the course.
I was really happy with the content of the course and the lectures and felt like I learnt a lot this weekend. The food was lovely too. Well laid out course, thank you.
Absolutely enjoyed the course, very interactive and fully informative to the core which adds to my confidence about treating the patients independently.

I feel a lot more confident and look forward to providing conscious sedation for my patients.
The lectures were great and very approachable both in lesson and practicals and outside of them. They delivered outstanding lectures making them interesting and relevant and with a great touch of humour. In practicals it was great to have their support, particularly as I wasn't familiar with the equipment needed for inhalation sedation or cannulation.
Thank you for a great weekend. This was a fantastic course which was seamlessly run and I can't wait to get started on my sedation journey.
My training needs were fully met. I would recommend this course to my colleagues.

The organisation on this course throughout has been absolutely fantastic, which has made my whole weekend very enjoyable, and I could just purely focus on the lectures.
I feel I have learnt so much from the sedation training. Not only do I feel confident to start supervised IV sessions at my workplace, but I feel like the course has refreshed my skills especially in medical emergency situations and airway management.
Great course - learnt a lot and have feel more confident about the process of RA, safety checks and how to treat patients safely.

Really enjoyable course! Very approachable faculty with vast knowledge. Well organised course providing essential skills for conscious sedation.
I feel as if the training days was very engaging and taught us in depth everything that was appropriate to know - I also found the handbook very helpful to write notes on and read for better understating.
Wonderful course, would highly recommend.

This course has given me underpinning knowledge to take back to my workplace, which I can then put into supporting our sedation patients and outside sedationist with a better understanding of what is required.
This was an outstanding course, with a well-structured curriculum, expert lecturers, and plenty of chances for hands on experience. In particular thank you for the lecturers for sharing their knowledge and making it interesting.
Just want to say thank you to all the lecturers for putting the effort to making this interesting and fun.
All lecturers were great, extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and pitched the lectures at exactly the right level for me.
