Today we are challenged with increasing volume of reading materials.   This includes journals, records, papers and emails.  If reading speed is improved, part of every hour spent in reading can be utilized in other areas such as planning, decision making and spending more time with our families. 

17 of our junior doctors attended the course with facilitator Dr Daniel Theyagu on 27 November, 4 December and 11 December 2004.   Dr Daniel Theyagu’s ability to build rapport and his use of experiential methods of facilitating his classes has earned him positive feedback. 

“Lecturer has excellent attitude & is friendly.” 
“Promotes skills that will enhance job training.”
“Interesting subject.  Good content.”

The overall feedback rating was 4.57 (5 being excellent and 1 being poor).
