A highly interactive, small group training where you participate in short simulated scenarios and interact with simulated patients, the course aims to bring different professionals together to further understand challenges and build confidence, skills and knowledge in dealing with them. Each scenario with simulated patients is followed by a group debrief led by our experienced facilitators.

- how to recognise the signs of abuse
