What Our Clients Say
Over the years, we ISC Medical has developed a strong reputation for the quality, reliability, consistency and relevance of its courses. We achieve that by listening carefully to the feedback received from each candidate and ensuring that our courses are totally tailored to everyone's needs. Here are examples of feedback received on past courses:
"The course has really taught me how to say 'no' to people in a constructive manner without feeling guilty about it. I have also learnt a lot about ways in which I can get people to do what I want them to do without leaving a bad feeling. Thank you for this very useful course."
"I was sent to this course by my trust, not because I lacked assertiveness, but on the contrary because they thought I was over-assertive (code for control freak or bully I think...). The course was extremely useful in helping me distinguish between assertiveness, aggressivity, and authority, and I have learnt a lot of things that I can take on board to be a better people manager. A real life-saver."
"As a manager I often get into conflict with doctors, particularly when it comes to budgetary or efficiency issues. Those conflicts often led to difficult conversations that I found hard to handle. The course gave me real confidence in approaching my negotiations with those clinicians, particularly in terms of understanding how I can deal with personalities who are vastly different to mine. A very good course which I would recommend to clinicians and managers alike."
"As a radiologist, saying 'no' has never been a problem. The main issue is that I was never able to do so without ruffling a few feathers. The course has provided with really good insight of how I can remain assertive without risking negative consequences and also about how to deal with difficult colleagues who can't take no for an answer. I have also learnt a lot about how to negotiate with people from different backgrounds. Over the past year I have been tearing my hair out to get an IT company to deliver a piece of software on time. I now know how I can handle technical people with more assurance at a level they understand."
"As a medical student, I was originally concerned that ending up on a course with established clinicians and managers would be a little overwhelming, but I really enjoyed it. The course was very good and very well run and I have now gained more confidence in speaking during ward rounds, pestering registrars to find patients that are of interest, and generally speaking up when appropriate."
