Testimonial

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Part 2 course. The supervisors were excellent and well organised. I particularly enjoyed meeting a wide range of healthcare professionals. Subsequently, I have been able to network and work in environments that I never knew about. I also have had opportunities to work abroad after explaining that I have undertaken this course. So I would strongly recommend the course if you have a passion and interest of Substance Misuse related care."

"Thank you so much for such an enlightening course, thank you for organising it so well and supporting us throughout each conference and assignment. I've really enjoyed the course and it has increased my confidence in assessing and managing patients on OST. It has also given me a great foundation upon which to build my practice and has armed me with the right tools to read and critically appraise papers."
