Trainer was a bit too strict and too serious

I feel like the overwhelming majority of the course was not particularly helpful to my day to day work as a dentist. It would be better to have a bigger proportion of the time dedicated to changes we can make to our day to day practice to actually help patients with autism and learning disabilities, rather than hearing a detailed account of the health effects of severe constipation

I am a speech and language therapist and neurodevelopmental practitioner so I already knew all of this and found the course info quite basic and not very relevant to Oliver McGowan
