Hear from one of our team

Training at Willowbank Care was upbeat, practical and confidence-boosting. Manual handling felt clear and hands-on, CPR was engaging and empowering, and medicines management finally clicked. Brilliant trainers, real-world scenarios and lots of laughs made learning stick. Highly recommended for supported living teams every single time.
