Our Parkinson’s Awareness training course is aimed at staff working in a care setting with clients with Parkinson’s disease who require support. This 90 minute course enables staff to gain a greater understanding of treatment for Parkinson’s and participants will be able to identify what they can do to support someone living with Parkinson’s disease.
“Great trainer, detailed descriptions and overall subject knowledge. A lot was learnt and the delivery of this (First Aid at Work) played a significant role. I loved that we were only a class of 3, it allowed for more in depth questions and learning. I really enjoyed frst aid this time! I have increased understanding and confidence in responding to situations that require first aid. 10/10″

“The trainer was brilliant, using real life incidents and stores as examples really helped me to learn and remember. The training was really engaging with lots of time for questions which were answered fully. I feel more confident in practicing first aid now than i did on my last course.”
