What Are Others Saying?
"I'd rate the workshop 10/10. Anything Alyce Svensk presents is always exceptional. Her presentations are a goldmine (if that's appropriate to say). It's so packed with information (in a good way!)"
C.A., Occupational Therapist
"I think it's perfect for graduates or early career clinicians, or perhaps an experienced clinician transitioning to Paediatrics. I found the routine based interview as part of the initial the best part, as it is something I haven't been doing much of in my initials and will start to incorporate!"
Adele M, Occupational Therapist
