Testimonials

“[The best aspect of the course was] the visits to other hospitals to see how other stomal therapists are working. To look at new studies and being up to date.”

“Staff were easily contactable and replies to queries were prompt. Administration staff were experienced and met my needs with a minimum of fuss. Resources were easily accessible and learning needs were forecast well.”

“The flexibility of 24/7 access to learning and assessment activities is fantastic. Online feedback from tutors was prompt. Clinical placement was organised extremely well and guidelines for mentors/facilitators was clear.”

“[The course] enhanced my ability to develop analytical skills and incorporates evidence based practice to clinical situations.”

“Timely response from my [course coordinator] Ashley Page and the option to have a phone conversation rather than just emails is greatly appreciated.”

“Having the flexibility of online learning gave me the direction to pave the pathway for my own learning journey. Feedback on assessments were clear and provided useful information to improve. The relevance of the course content was inspiring and allowed me to put theory into practice.”

“Everything was awesome! PS. Having the graduation ceremony was a memorable experience. It was good to connect to people who you interact with online and put a face to the names you encounter.”

“The feedback I received from my tutors and those who assessed my work was helpful. Affirmation and comment in equal parts was an important blend in keeping me motivated through the course and special mention must be given to both Fran Stoddart and Danielle in the library without whom I wouldn’t have finished the year. Thank you all for developing these resources to equip and motivate those who may not have easy access to advanced paediatric knowledge acquisition.”

“The forums helped me gain insights on other nurses’ experiences and expertise. It also helped me engage with the other students and developed my network.”

“Engaging with the tutors in topics that are highly relevant in my workplace practice, finding fascinating studies on a variety of subjects when floating through research – one of my highlights.”
