I loved the new infor and the practical examples.
Alison Von Bulow
A wide range of specialists provided an excellent overview and provided practical examples which we were able to relate to our own patients. It was an honour to have access to such a wealth of knowledge all within one week.
Alice Bostock
This course is presented by experts in their fields in a manner that encourages interaction and information sharing. Their knowledge and experience is highly relevant and useful for OTs practicing in the field of geriatrics, and their passion for evidence-based practice in the field of geriatrics is contagious and inspiring - I cannot recommend this course enough!
Really great course with very experienced speakers that are well versed on the topics, giving great insight into the geriatric field.
