Comments from previous workshop participants

"Thank you for making this a valued learning experience and investing in us individually as well as a group"
"Very well prepared, planned and facilitated workshop"

“Debriefing was so worthwhile after participating in a Sim. It really helped to get my thoughts in order in a safe space by a supportive debriefer and co-debriefer. Thank you for supporting my learning.”
