What our students say

"Very many thanks to you, Susan, Camille and the rest of the team in providing a well structured, innovative  and intellectually challenging course, which has enhanced my knowledge and enthusiasm towards GP education.  I would certainly recommend this course to my colleagues." GP from 2016-17 cohort

"I have eagerly awaited my grades. I hope I can truly continue to grow next year, and aim to make you all proud. We have a mammoth task ahead of us; as you must know, education of health professionals needs attention the world over, and what you all offer in this regard is a great head start to making the necessary practice changes. Thank you all so much for allowing me to progress to second year!" Consultant in anaesthetics & intensive care from 2016-17 cohort

"Many thanks for providing a stimulating online course over the past year.  It really has helped me develop and change my teaching skills positively.  I definitely noticed greater confidence in my teaching ability last year and this is in no doubt due largely to the PGCert. Again, many thanks to you and everyone on the faculty for your help and guidance throughout the year." Radiologist from 2015-16 cohort
