What Clinicians Say
Real feedback from junior doctors, ACPs, and emergency nurses who've experienced the difference UKACE training makes
"The cognitive bias course completely changed how I approach diagnostic decisions. I now actively look for the thinking traps that used to catch me out. This is genuinely the most practical training I've had since medical school."
Dr. Emily Richardson
FY2 Doctor, Emergency Medicine
Royal London Hospital
Course: Cognitive Bias & Diagnostic Error
"As an ACP, I often felt I was missing something in my training - the 'soft skills' that experienced consultants seemed to have naturally. The UKACE courses filled those gaps perfectly. The safety netting course alone has made me so much more confident in my discharge decisions."
Sarah Mitchell
Advanced Clinical Practitioner
Manchester Royal Infirmary
Course: Safety Netting & Safe Discharge
"I wish I'd had access to these courses in FY1. The medicolegal essentials course taught me more about defensive documentation in 3 hours than I learned in 3 years of practice. It's already saved me during a recent complaint investigation."
Dr. James Chen
ST3 Emergency Medicine
St Thomas' Hospital, London
Course: Medicolegal Essentials for the ED
"The paediatric emergencies course was exactly what I needed as a non-paediatric specialist working in a mixed ED. It gave me practical frameworks for recognizing sick children and knowing when to escalate. I feel so much safer now."
Rachel Thompson
Emergency Nurse Practitioner
Birmingham Children's Hospital
Course: Paediatric Emergencies for Non-Paediatricians
"The night shift survival guide was a game-changer. I used to dread nights and make more mistakes when tired. Now I have actual strategies for staying alert and safe. This should be mandatory teaching for all junior doctors."
Dr. Aisha Patel
FY1 Doctor
Leeds General Infirmary
Course: The Night Shift Survival Guide
"The hidden curriculum concept resonated immediately. These are all the things senior colleagues 'just know' but nobody ever taught us. The escalation course particularly helped me overcome my reluctance to call for help - it's not weakness, it's good practice."
Mark Davidson
Advanced Clinical Practitioner
Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Glasgow
Course: When to Call for Help (Escalation)
"I attended the risk and uncertainty course after a near-miss incident that really shook my confidence. It completely reframed how I think about clinical decision-making. The probabilistic thinking frameworks are now part of my daily practice."
Dr. Sophie Williams
ST2 Emergency Medicine
John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford
Course: Risk & Uncertainty
"As a nurse with 10 years' experience, I thought I knew it all. The teamwork and communication course showed me how many opportunities I was missing to improve patient safety through better communication. The SBAR framework has transformed our handovers."
Tom Harrison
Emergency Nurse
Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge
Course: Teamwork & Communication
"The geriatric patient course was eye-opening. I realized I was missing so many important aspects of care for older patients. The comprehensive geriatric assessment framework is now my go-to approach, and I've had much better outcomes."
Dr. Priya Sharma
FY2 Doctor
Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh
Course: The Geriatric Patient in the ED
"The clinical governance and quality improvement course gave me the confidence to actually lead a QI project in our department. We've reduced discharge delays by 30% using the PDSA cycles we learned. This training has real-world impact."
Lisa Anderson
Advanced Clinical Practitioner
University Hospital Southampton
Course: Clinical Governance & Quality Improvement
"Learning from mistakes was the most emotionally difficult but valuable course I've ever taken. It helped me process a serious error I made and turn it into genuine learning. The psychological safety frameworks should be taught to every clinician."
Dr. Michael O'Brien
ST4 Emergency Medicine
St James's Hospital, Dublin
Course: Learning from Mistakes
"The Mental Capacity Act course demystified something I'd always found confusing and stressful. Now I can confidently assess capacity and make best interests decisions. The case-based teaching was particularly helpful - real scenarios we face every day."
Hannah Roberts
Emergency Nurse Practitioner
Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast
Course: The Mental Capacity Act in the ED
