Testimonials

Marcia put together a phenomenal day of continuing education at the Practical CPD workshop 'Anaesthesia and Analgesia for Vet Nurses'. She was highly organised, clear in her communication and went above and beyond with her time contribution in setting up the dry lab practical component. Her notes were well written; her lectures were engaging, thought-provoking and interactive. The practical component also gave attendees invaluable hands-on experience with CPR with a case-based approach. The workshop was highly applicable to clinical practice and we would recommend her as a speaker/educator for future courses.
