Testimonials
I attended a coil removal course run by Dr Oliver. This was both informative and well planned, re-enforcing existing knowledge, and updating current practice, based on recent guidelines. It was a well paced, informal course, with sharing of information/best practice in a safe environment. I would recommend it to other Practitioners who need to learn how best to undertake this procedure safely.
Heather Elliot
This is a perfect example of a great talk, short to the point and very educational for a GP.
Anonymous
A brilliant session, clear and concise with each topic covered in a short space of time but delivered at an appropriate pace.

I have recently attended an HRT update presented by Julie and have come away better informed and much more confident in being able to advise and review patients on HRT. Her sessions are interactive, relaxed and primary care based, with the opportunity to discuss real life situations and dilemmas. She made the group feel at ease, which encouraged discussion and debate. I would recommend this and any of Julie’s session.
