Medicines Training Testimonials

"I would highly recommend Medication Management Training by Tracey Dowe of Momentum People.

Each session was focused, relevant to domiciliary care workers, interesting and at times very amusing. As a trainer Tracey is engaging, enthusiastic, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Her aim was to instill knowledge and raise awareness and she amply succeeded in this."

Margaret Stanley, Home Care Locality Manager, Bath and NE Somerset

"As a small charity we often need to provide effective training to our team at the same time. This means that we have managers and very experienced staff being trained alongside relief staff or less experienced staff. As we were able to express our precise training needs to Tracey prior to our training day, we all benefited greatly from this training and found it extremely helpful. This also helped to reduce the cost and time of training without losing content.

Tracey arrived fully prepared for our training and met our needs precisely, proving to be extremely knowledgeable in her field and offered sound practical advice that continued after our official training had ended. We are very grateful for Tracey's help and support.

We found Tracey to be friendly, accurate and efficient."

Beverley Craney, General Manager, SWALLOW

"The training was very informative and interesting. I learn't many new things and was made aware of things that were illegal which in some places I have experienced as common practice! Facilitator was friendly, approachable and it was a pleasure learning from her"

Natalie Osbourne

"The course was very interesting. You feel more confident in administering medication to others and within my personal life. The trainer has a lot of experience in her field of work and this is undoubtedly portrayed in the presentation and training she gives. You leave feeling a lot more knowledgeable, assured and confident in what you are able and legally unable to do as a care worker"

Ogo Williams

Park Lane Children's Home, Wembley

"Tracey's extensive knowledge was evident within the training sessions attended and she made the sessions both relaxed and interesting by involving people and the use of the power-point presentation together with group discussions.

Post training support from Tracey has been fantastic, she issued us with her contact numbers and email address of which I have utilised both frequently when required. I firstly sent the test papers of the staff to Tracey, she then returned them with comments and suggestions for extra support from myself and my colleague where required. I have asked Tracey's advice on certain issues regarding medication as they have arose within the company. I am returning the unit 1&2/3 booklets to Tracey at present as they are returned by care staff, again Tracey has been extremely helpful by replacing lost books to be re-completed by cares as required.

I feel overall Tracy has been very helpful both during training and post training support and hope to work with Tracey again in the future."
