The fire training was 10mins and the manual handing was 30mins I traveled up for that… according to the trainer he couldn’t do manual handing which was detrimental to my work… he did it in the end after explaining how important it was I completed today However last year was much better. Hardly learnt anything about fire training Did enjoy the BLS however
I feel this course lacks proper education. We are all left to our own devises to use manual handling tools but it's all guess work and not actually demonstrated how to use them.
Trainer was a bit too strict and too serious
Stats out of date References out dated Felt communication initially was passive
This was supposed to be a moving and handling course, there was very little M&H content
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
The morning was fantastic and Liam was great and interactive it was brilliant The afternoon was unfortunately the complete opposite and extremely draining
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
Too much material to cover in time available. Too many candidates for space. Practical component chaos. Depending on group assigned to lack of willingness of candidates to engage. Needed input/guidance from trainer to check candidates doing practical component... but too much going on to realistically do this for all. Could have done with a biscuit at break time. Trainer good communicator and clear presenter. Attempted interaction with candidates but hard going to get much of a response. Introduction regarding candidates asking questions or trying to trip up trainer 'a bit off putting' (but I presume was based on experience of some candidates acting inappropriately in previous sessions, and fair enough). Felt inhibited to ask questions. Didn't need to know personal information e.g. neurodiversity or sexual orientation as this was apparent. Location difficult for parking since busy town centre. Training room too small. One of the worst training days I have attended with regard to learning and brushing up on practical skills. Components of training inappropriate for my workplace setting e.g. use of hoist and other mobility appliances. From a personal view I think it would be better to do most of this online apart from the practical components. This then would enable presentation of the slides at a speed the candidate was comfortable with and the the addition of MCQ's would test understanding and knowledge.
