The Irish Hearing Society
Ann provided an afternoon workshop on Infection Prevention and Control for the Irish Hearing Society Annual Conference - We had very positive feedback and everybody thought the session was the highlight of the 2 day conference (believe me to keep everybody attentive and so engaged for the last talks on a Saturday was a miracle in itself). We hope Ann will be able to provide further talks for us in the future
Professor Zena Moore

Royal College of Surgeons - Ireland
Ann’s overall preparation for, and delivery of, the lectures was outstanding and the students were provided with up to date lecture notes, reading material and references which facilitated a clear linkage between what was taught and the underlying evidence to support arguments made. The feedback from the students was excellent and all performed well in their examinations and assignments, indicating clear understanding of the material presented during the programme.

As a group of experienced medics who are involved in the education of medical students, we wanted to be able to teach and assess hand hygiene in our curriculum. We also wanted to be able to integrate it into all of our clinical teaching.
What we learned at the training provided by Medical Audits was an in depth understanding of hand hygiene and how to teach not only the skill but also the evidence and rationale.
This is invaluable when teaching healthcare students and
staff.
Cecil Ryan
CEO
Cannon Hygiene International
The engaging style of delivery hit exactly the right note for our international audience and the lively Q & A session which followed was a testament to the way in which Ann engaged with the delegates. We have already decided to invite Ann back next year.
Dr. Georgina Gethin
Senior Lecturer

It was a pleasure to work with Ann. I found her to be professional, reliable and very supportive to students.
She demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of Infection Prevention and Control and has published in this area.
Ann provided the students with up to date lecture notes, reading material and references which facilitated evidence based learning. She utilised varied methods of educational delivery, teaching aids and teaching methodologies. She mixed practical, interactive and theoretical lectures to support the well designed programme.
The feedback from the students was excellent and they commented on the relevance to practice and clear practical examples during lectures and being very effective in assisting in their learning and understanding of the course content.
