"A fantastic course which covers the condition itself, signs, symptoms and risk factors for PND. How to support mothers and their families and how to access help. This course always gets the highest score on our evaluation forms of any course we run and is highly recommended by past students,- ‘every professional maternity nurse should attend this course, it’s opened my eyes and I feel so much more aware about PND and more importantly how to help.'"

"I attended a PND training course in reading which was run by Liz, she was outstanding, her teaching techniques were so clear and thorough not to mention informative, After completing the course I had the confidence and competence to forward my career as a Maternity Nurse helping so many Mums seek support and assistance, and I truly believe in having an outstanding amount of knowledge of PND I have prevented mums suffering depressing in the early stages of becoming a mum. Liz Wise having suffered herself has helped us (Maternity Nurses) by sharing her knowledge and giving us the skills to help others. She is truly inspirational."
