Participant feedbackIt was obvious that both presenters have extensive clinical experience in this area and are very well-read on the topics they presented. The summary slides first thing on Sunday morning were an excellent addition to the content. The two presenters worked well together, and both were very open to questions and comments. Browden was an excellent presenter and provided many practical examples and case scenarios during the course which were highly relevant. She explained the content very well and was very approachable. I would attend another course/workshop run by her. I enjoyed the case-based learning, the review of the conditions and then the discussions re: current evidence-based practice / current treatment approaches. I valued the practical information that was provided.
