Educational package

Teaching package designed to be offered either as 3 x 20 minute sessions or 1 hour-long session to be flexible to the needs of the home. Has been used successfully (with positive feedback) in both time-frames. We found 20-minute sessions had the added advantage of allowing trainees to practice applying knowledge between sessions. download
