We honestly have a fun time using Flinders. Any time that we have a problem in the office; we always say “Don’t worry; we can Flinder that!”.
I found everything useful & would recommend anyone to attend.
I thought this course was great and we can deliver a relevant service to the people of our community. Would highly recommend this course to other health professionals.
I feel this is a powerful tool for clients to have.
Great course. Well presented, achievable outcomes, practical session with real people. Great!
I enjoyed my time and found this to be a very rewarding, interesting and a good time.
I look forward to completing it and to be able to access the tools for my practice.
I think this approach will be very beneficial not only to practitioners but also to clients.
I think my managers and colleagues would be very willing to support this approach at my workplace and I feel comfortable with approaching the Flinders training team for any further support.
