  16. What our current students say… “I was initially sceptical about doing an online course but the staff are supportive and I particularly like the flexibility it provides. I would recommend this course to anyone who would like to enhance their knowledge on recovery and make a difference to our clients’ lives.” Joyce Rambanepasi Community Mental Health Nurse Stevenage, UK “People who are employed within the NHS are familiar with online learning, but accredited opportunities are rarely extended to people who use those services.  This course is unique in being online and also inclusive of all, as well as being open to international students. This mix of people adds to the discussions, bringing a wider perspective to the topics of recovery and social inclusion in practice.” Karen Machin, Merseyside UK “The relationships that have developed online & via Skype has been priceless. Sharing experience enriches one's learning.” Ingrid Ozols Australia
