Hear from a Graduate Sheena Cunnington, Owner at Ballard Coaching and Training
“...this course was the obvious choice for me, having spent over 20 years nursing in dementia specialist services, both in the UK and in Ireland. It opened the way to a change in direction from nursing management into training and development, where I was able to develop and deliver dementia training courses for healthcare professionals and family carers. Ultimately, it enabled me to become self-employed, achieving more flexibility and a better work-life balance. The group learning and camaraderie of my classmates was invaluable, as was the encouragement and support from my ever-patient and extremely kind supervisor, Prof. Catherine Comiskey.”
