"Great course, very well presented and supported. Very helpful in my job role. Thank you!"
Dr David Rose ('Online Live' version)
"This was my first online course, and it was definitely a good experience (would want more of web-based teaching than face-to-face!). The tutor was excellent- the course content was thorough, and I really appreciated the extra docs he sent across based on our group's request. He kept us all engaged, the break-out room exercises were very helpful and his willingness to share concrete/real-life examples from his own experience/practice was very helpful indeed."
Dr Viba Pavan Kumar ('Online Live' version)
"Thank you for an interesting and varied course. Our tutor was knowledgeable and engaging, and sensitive to the requirements of his audience. I am confident that this training will help us to build the service we need within our Trust."

Preventing PTSD after major events, at work and elsewhere.
A 3-day course. (2-day version also available.)
It is difficult to know what to do after a major incident, but 'nothing' is rarely the best option.
Major incidents such as patient-suicide, assaults, severe self harm, hostage takings etc can be very stressful for the staff concerned. Through lecture, case study and role play, this course examines how best to respond to such situations to minimize the stress; when it's best to say little or nothing, when to get a group of staff together, what to say, what procedures to follow, etc. It provides very clear guidelines in an often confused and difficult area.
