Georgina Little<br />
RVN, NCert in Anaesthesia Nursing<br />
The course was fantastic, the speakers were great, full of knowledge<br />
and used a variety of teaching and learning aids. I have developed<br />
new skills, techniques and become more confident in taking these<br />
back to use in practice straight away, thus helping with patient<br />
anaesthesia and pain relief.<br />
