Emma is such a wonderful instructor. I feel really comfortable with the huge amounts of information that I needed to understand for the course. More to the point, months after finishing I feel very well equipped to handle any emergency that I might be present for.

Thank you for a great course today.  I have been thinking about the day and what I learned.  I think one thing that was very useful was using real cases we have all read about and related to; and using the mistakes or correct/incorrect procedures used to save or attempt to save lives.  Making it easier to remember procedures and applications.  Your teaching method was approachable and friendly and the whole experience from initial interest to this request for feedback has been all very communicative and professional.  I will send many colleagues your way!
