Feedback from previous UKISOP programmes
“Very engaging and good fun. Thoroughly enjoyed this and learnt a lot”
“Really useful workshop as this is equipment used in my workplace and gave additional opportunity to ask questions to improve how the instrument is used”
“Nilpa is a brilliant teacher and made the workshop fun and interesting; I went away from this workshop actually excited about visions!”
“Good to hear from other professionals in roles developed but not used in our trust. Enjoyed how he put the patient at the centre of his teaching, focusing very much on them and what they are saying, encouraging us to listen effectively to them”
“An excellent presentation! Dynamic and very thought-provoking”
“Excellent presentation. Useful and engaging, with a relevance to daily practise for the improvement of patient experience”
