Sherwood Training Reviews

A very engaging 3 day PBS course, the content was delivered to an exceptional standard. The course has refocused our need to engage with the patient more and utilising the arousal model. This course will enable a mutual and joined up approach with security and the clinical teams who have received this training. Kirstie’s knowledge and background was exceptional and the perfect trainer for what we want to achieve within MFT in promoting positive behaviour and using RPI as a last resort.

Very Knowledgeable tutor with lots of experience which greatly allows us to think of situations we may have been in and how we can de-escalate and solve situations in the future. kirstie brings some fun to the course so and is able to answer any questions. The course is very informative, is indepth and is interesting. I have been on multiple courses and this is far the best and the most up to date. Thank you for teaching me the correct skills of de-escalation and least restrictive intervention.

There is a lot of new information and techniques which I willingly take back to my team and the wider Trust. Kirstie is inspiring with. her positive attitude energy. I love the solution focused approach leaning, which always keeping the patient at the centre of all care needs. Kirstie has a dynamic approach to training which makes it a memorable course experience.

Very interesting training session

Really interesting and practical.

Excellent days training session - great refresh of techniques but great listening from trainer during early theory

Ben was fantastic he listened and give ideas we could use

When was listening to us and he was more interested and he helped us a long way

More could have been given to clinical holds and the settings. As well as feeling limited with what was learned on the chairs.

The lower score for the content and materials was really based around the clinical holds. Completing holds on 2 slippy sheets is not something that will happen in practice. There needed to be more specific holds for clinical interventions so everyone has the same approach. NGT can be particularly difficult if there is not some standard set in training. Moving forward a focus on clinical would be beneficial for the general paediatric setting. Some of the slides and references where out of date. I enjoyed the PBS focused aspect of the training. I can see it matching well with other initiatives at RMCH. The trainer was knowledgeable and approachable throughout, good job.
