Testimonials
Abu and his team came into our hospital to train my team in PMVA. He and his team made the 3 days absolutely engaging and meaningful. The admin support when booking and organising the training was professional and responsive. I would recommend Abu to work with any hospital in training staff on deescalation and restraint reduction. Thank you Abu
My experiences with Abu have left me with an impression of not only a dedicated professional, but a compassionate and caring individual who places patients at the forefront of every decision. I have witnessed Abu delivering training to a group of staff who were varied in experience and understanding, managing to pitch the sessions to a level where everyone felt listened to and comfortable. He has the ability to attend a new environment and seek the right information to make the training relevant to individual patients with very different needs, ensuring that the staff take everything into account and understand how one intervention is not for all and how to adapt in a safe and measured manner.
I have also sought Abu’s expert experience in helping staff to work with patients with needs which the staff found highly challenging. In approaching this, Abu made the effort to spend time with myself and my team, but most importantly, with the patient concerned. He was able to offer solutions and safely demonstrate these, all with patient and staff safety as the focus.
I have no doubts in recommending Abu and his team, and I would absolutely seek his advice and professional services again in the future. In my opinion Abu is an expert in his field and not only brings everything above to the table, but also a sense of humour, an understanding of how to relate to people of all needs and individuality, and genuine kindness.
Abu is one one of the most dedicated, professional and knowledgeable instructors within the field of restrictive intervention training. He is passionate about what he teaches and ensures what he delivers is not only accurate but is of a high standard. In the field of training in restrictive practice in healthcare services, there is a need for trainers with Abu's level of quality training that can deliver in this area to replace the many rouge substandard training providers out there.
I have had the pleasure of working along side Abu for many years. During this time he has developed into one of the most capable PMVA trainers and clinicians within this field. His commitment to explore the available best practice guidance and research is evident through the observations of his delivery within the training arena to his students, whilst developing the many instructors that work under his mentorship and most importantly within the clinical settings whilst working with patients who at times exhibit acute behavioural disturbances. The most striking thing about Abu is his core values of respect, kindness and compassion towards all. His natural desire and positive attitude to make a difference for staff and patients during their daily interactions is exemplary and successfully contributes to maintaining a safe and therapeutic environment that focuses on hope, opportunities and recovery. Abu's national profile and contributions are rapidly growing by sharing his experience and expertise at conferences and leading agencies and governing bodies. I highly recommend Abu within the complex and specialist subject area.
Had the great pleasure of working with Abu on a number of projects as well as hearing him speak at a number of events. He is consistently motivated by an evident desire to improve the wellbeing and safety of both those who use and those who provide services and has a substantial and proven track record of achievement in his field of expertise reflecting his skills in project design, implementation and evaluation.
