"The workshop was a great refresher. The most beneficial aspect was the group discussions and sharing of tips and tricks. Hoping that every year we will get these sessions"

"We finally have a written procedure and written resource that we can access for rostering. I don't think we've ever had that during the 35 years I've been in nursing. We have been managing for a very long time and I've never been able to go and say what I should be doing - so I think it's great!"
