"Good format. Built up background in the morning, then presented the big picture of changes in NHS in the afternoon sessions. Sebastian is passionate about his subject, which comes through. I liked the fact that he was personally involved and interested in NHS structure and changes. Wasn't just reading lists or definitions, but rather giving the big picture, often from a personal experience, which made it mu ch more memorable and understandable. Very good. I have become much more interested in this as a subject as a result of attending this course and will become more involved in health changes going forward."
