Testimonials
Really valuable and enjoyable course, excellent patient teaching and support from all the team.
Mary Vincent
Specialist Neuro Physiotherapist
Senior Manager of Outpatient and Community Neuro Rehabilitation Services.
This was a fantastic course and delivered very effectively in an online setting. The Pod at home was a great opportunity to practise at leisure. I have learnt a great deal on the course and despite feeling confident with US guided injections there are certain aspects and learning points that I have taken from the course and will change my practise.

Helen Wilkinson
Consultant Physiotherapist
I really enjoyed the course, far more than I expected. It was fantastic to start with the basic science to underpin the practice sessions - it all makes more sense now, and I feel a lot more confident to inject. The team were all really helpful, and I think went out of their way to problem solve technical issues etc. I will certainly recommend this course to colleagues.
