Testimonial

We had three train the trainer sessions and a day on influencing with NHS Professionals Academy. Our trainer was engaging, considering all the varying needs of the group and gave individualised feedback and recommendations for improving delivery. It has changed how I deliver training. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to book more!
