Feedback on our training
"An absolutely excellent training course. Well planned with lots of interactive exercises to keep it interesting and people involved. Very informative and well designed to meet varied learning styles. Buz is clearly knowledgable and passionate about her material. A brilliant insight into person centred care with great practical application in the work place."Debbie Murphy, Occupational Therapist, Russia Lane Day Centre, London Borough of Tower Hamlets
"Buz is an excellent trainer. She has a profound knowledge of person centred care and the issues faced by people with dementia. Buz delivers training in a relaxed and professional manner which supports staff learning and encourages understanding and empathy. These factors are vital for staff in supporting people with dementia. Buz understands the practical, day to day issues faced by staff and managers and is able to provide a training plan that meets the needs of both the staff as well as the people who use the service".
David Hastings, CQC Inspector (previously manager of specialist dementia care home)
"Jo Savill has provided highly informative invaluable training to Islington Home Carers on Person Centred Dementia Care. Her understanding of the subject matter is exhaustive. The training really opened the delegates' eyes to understanding the complexities involved when working with people with dementia and allowed them to look at partnership work with clients in a more productive and stimulating way."
Rachel Adelson-Kettle, Work Force Development Consultant, London Borough of Islington
"Buz is a role model for person-centred practice; this approach pervades not only the content but the delivery of her training. Dementia Care – indeed Social Care more generally – needs more of the ‘Buz effect’ to motivate and inspire!"
Jenny Tillson, Day Support Manager, Alzheimer’s Society – Central Sussex
"I attended the two days training which was run by Brenda - I looked at the content of the course as both a Home Manager and as a trainer. From both angles, it was enjoyable, educational and fun! The programme was varied and enabled the group to work well together in participating in the various practical exercises we were given. All staff from our home attended and the feedback was 100% positive - they have been able to put into everyday use a lot of what was taught them during the two days and clearly this benefits the residents. Brenda is a total joy to be with, both as a trainer and as a person - her passion for the topic clearly shows through in her presentations - something I believe emphasises the importance of the teaching about how to deliver good dementia care."
John Evans, Home Manager, Folkestone Nursing Home, Newham
"Janet opened my eyes and mind about dementia. She has given me confidence, knowledge, experience and zeal to learn more and also have passion for dementia studies and people with dementia. I will always recommend her to anyone who wants to be trained in dementia."
