As Steve MacDermott says, “feedback is the breakfast of champions”. While this may be slightly overegging the cake, feedback from people who have attended our workshops and events is taken very seriously by the NPC and helps to shape our future work programme. For details of how well our workshops and events have been evaluated please follow the links below for each type of event:

Analysis of feedback from local NPC workshops for year April 2002 to March 2003.

Feedback was sought from all prescribing advisers who attended the local therapeutic workshops delivered by the NPC Training Advisers. This was done via an anonymous questionnaire designed by the NPC similar to that used for a number of years to assess NPC Therapeutic Workshops. This was given to the attendees at the local workshops and they were asked to fill them in and either leave them at the workshop or return them to the NPC. The results can be seen in the tables and graphs below:

Feedback will be provided shortly’
