I liked the interactive parts and discussions. I struggle with just lots of PowerPoint slides
The trainer is well versed in in the exercises and the sequence. Was explaining eloquently. Very supportive when helping too
I thought the training was thought provoking. As a mental health nurse working in an acute paediatric setting, challenging negative beliefs is something I often have to do. This training certainly helps in doing that. I do think a tailored version for paediatrics is necessary, their was a few things that were only applicable to Adult nursing.
The morning session involved lots of discussion around learners and the school's ethos. However, I personally benefit from recapping the key elements of the original training. It felt more of a relaxed discussion as opposed to a learning a session. The afternoon session was great. Recapping all of the physical breakaways was really beneficial and helped me remember them should I need to use any in the near future. Overall, it was a great day day, thank you!
Response: Hi Charlie, thak you for taking the time to leave detailed feedback. A refresher is a day to cover anything that learners feel they want to look at and I am sure that your trainers will look into this in the future. I'm glad you had a great day overall!
Trainer was engaging Came across as passionate about restraint reduction
Good overall training. Really think it will be interesting to see how it will work in service. Good trainer. Booklet was a little all over the place. Did not like the new paper pens.
Response: Hello Anthony, thank you for your feedback and we will look into the booklet and the new pens!
Kirstie creates a very safe and calm training room. It is easy for participants to ask questions and discuss things. I am conscious that as an associate trainer I have not been seen to demonstrate all the physical skills during the refresher, as we would for our own staff refreshers. I brought my own questions and queries and remain confident in my own delivery of the teaching and practice of the skills but I could be concerned around other AT confidence and competency if they have not had opportunity to demonstrate all the skills.
Response: Hi Tom. Thank you for taking the time to leave detailed feedback. Unfortunately, there is not time for every trainer to deliver every skill and the idea of a refresher is to recap rather than reteach. As you know from the recent observation in your organisation, we observe all associate trainers delivering in their environment in their first year of training and therefore are confident that we have robust measures in place to ensure trainer competence. Where trainers either self-identify as lacking confidence, or this is observed by others, extra support is provided on an individual basis. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to discuss this further.
