Annette’s workshops are fantastic! I recently participated in an online workshop via Zoom, which was very handy given I am based in Perth and would not have been able to attend otherwise. I was unsure how effective a workshop would be via video compared to in-person, but it was hugely beneficial regardless of the medium it was delivered. Being a fairly new physiotherapy graduate, I learnt from my undergraduate studies the importance of helping our patients in making behaviour changes, but I did not feel I learnt the skills to do this. Annette explains what is involved in making behaviour changes and then provides scenario-based learning and gives strategies to assist in making these changes. I have already implemented some of the strategies in clinical practice and have noticed positive changes to patient compliance and treatment/rehab outcomes. Given our jobs as physiotherapists rely hugely on effective communication, Annette’s workshops are a must!
