It was very relevant to everyday practice and it was actually something I could take away and put into practice in my work place.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course and found the information incredibly useful and presented in a way that was easy to understand. It will allow me to put forward new protocols within our anaesthetic regime and help other members of the team increase in confidence.
