Why Doctors Training

Feedback from our recent partners

“Simon and his team recently provided some workshops for a department in my hospital on creating a positive learning environment and reflective practice. This really enhanced the change in culture for training and education in the department. It showed in our GMC results for that department which went from multiple red outliers in the previous GMC survey to completely white/no outliers in the latest one.”

Dr Alice Mann Director of Medical Education London based Hospital

“Another fantastic and inspiring training day with DoctorsTraining. He has so much personal experience of our roles, plus vast knowledge and insight into our challenges as well as being a very skilful facilitator. I couldn’t fault the day, I will book him again.

 

 

 

 

 

Dr Celia Bielawski Deputy Head of School London Foundation School

“I can’t thank you and your team enough for all the training you have delivered over the last 8 weeks. I’ve lost count of the number of people that have come back to me to report what a great training session they’ve had. In particular the Supporting Appraisers updates, the content was spot on and rather than being the didactic ‘how to’ session everyone expected, you really managed to touch on recent experiences and how to make the process of appraisal so much more formative and rewarding from an appraiser and an appraisee perspective, so thank you!”

Dr Remi Akerele Appraisal lead Bradford Teaching Hospitals

BEST SESSION EVER

 

“Approachable and friendly yet professional and clearly experienced/ capable coach. Able to engage with all delegates and able to adapt style of teaching/structure of day relative to group preferences Very naturally gifted teachers and gave great feedback – knew how to encourage yet correct/steer everyone. Excellent facilitators. Best sessions and facilitators I have encountered to date.”

Dr Tim Collins Mentor Training NHSE South West

An expert presentation on resilience and how to motivate ourselves post-pandemic to a Surgical Congress. Simon has a wonderful reflective style of presenting, thought-provoking and useful to the audience. Fantastic feedback and I would love to have Simon back again to provide more talks. Very professional, useful and highly recommended.”Consultant Surgeon, Association Surgeons

Mr Christian Macutkiewicz Consultant Surgeon, Association Surgeons Great Britain and Ireland (ASGBI)

We have booked several courses for SAS development. We found the course faculty fantastic, they were knowledgeable and pitched the training at the right level. These sessions were interactive and the feedback from our doctors was excellent. Highly recommended!”

Mr Fuad Abid Associate Postgraduate Dean West Midlands

“Dr Sturgess was excellent. I must admit I was sceptical regarding these kinds of sessions, having had poorly delivered sessions in the past. But she was brilliant – engaging, understanding, and managed to create an atmosphere where thewhole group actively participated, and were engaged in discussion (something which I don’t think I have ever seen in previous teaching sessions)

Ms Jenna Shepherd Trainee Surgeon East Midlands School of Surgery

AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP STYLE

 

“With his authentic leadership style, Simon is able to draw on his lifelong experiences not only as a valued colleague of the medical fraternity but as a credible, passionate trainer as well.”
