Recent comments, from feedback:
Thanks Anne and Roseann, for the 2 days of the most interesting content and practical sessions.
I felt so relieved doing and passing this course, as I really enjoyed the atmosphere and relaxed way in which Adult ALS is taught. The others at work had told me to do it through you and I am so pleased.
Thanks Anne for your arrhythmia talk, I finally understand arrhythmias, and the mega code leadeship roles. Loved the assertion tips.
Roseann you explained and demonstrated Advanced Airway so well, thank you and I can now quickly and expertly put in a LMA. I work in the rural and remote area, and feel so much more confident.
