Attending the PMVA training in London with Avalon Care Training was a highly valuable and insightful experience. Over the course of the days, I gained both theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for safely managing behaviour of concerns in a healthcare settings. The trainer was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout. He created a safe and inclusive learning environment, which made it easier to ask questions and fully engage with the course. The sessions combined classroom-based learning with hands-on physical techniques, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of how to prevent and respond to incidents of aggression.
