Lucinda, MRCVS
Thank you so much for the most wonderful Acupuncture Foundation course last weekend. It was fantastic in every aspect from organisation, content, delivery, practical training and venue and of course amazing food! The best CPD I have attended in 15 years out by far!
Anika, MRCVS
WVAG Foundation Course February 2023. This course truly exceeded my expectation. Very practical and detailed theory that was covered. Sam and Chelsea are excellent teachers and this course was educational and enjoyable. Knockderry House Hotel was magical and a five star experience. I can only commend Sam and Chelsea for putting together an insightful course. I look forward to taking my knowledge and skills gained from this course back to South Africa and see the benefits it can bring my patients.
Sarah, MRCVS
Excellent, really relevant to clinical practice and gave me lots of confidence to start chronic pain consults. I really enjoyed the course – Samantha is a great speaker and was happy to answer all of our questions. It’s great to have someone so experienced in assessing and treating pain teaching. The food was amazing again!
Becky, MRCVS
No other word to describe the speaker apart from “fantastic!” Engaging, managed to stimulate discussion, something which I know from experience can be very difficult particularly during online courses. I particularly appreciated that Sam ensured everything was included in the recordings, so that even though I couldn’t join live, I still had all the information.
