I really enjoyed the course and the trainer was extremely knowledgeable and was able to give real-life examples of things she has experienced which I found extremely fascinating.
We have done several first aid courses and found I took more away from this one than all the rest put together. Katie listened and answered all our questions, even the really left-field ones.
OMSB has engaged the services of Katie Chapman of Total First Aid Solutions (TFAS) on several occasions since 2022. She also offers customised training and we are looking forward to a workshop with her later this month.
