Student Profile

Dr Thomas Kurka, PGCert Simulation in clinical practice student

Overall, the module was absolutely amazing. The teaching was outstanding, the format was well thought through, I feel like I learned a great deal. And for the first time, I am sad that it is Friday and the module is over.
