“The course was very useful in understanding the practicalities to consider when undertaking investigations such as location, time, body language and tone of voice. It provided helpful tips on how to improve quality of investigations such as weekly updates to managers and respondents taking which in a large organisation such as the NHS can often be missed. I would highly recommend to other NHS staff.” – Tooba Saeed, Investigator, Central Investigations Team at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust
