I think you've achieved your goal of this being a course that can immediately change and inform gp practice in a meaningful way. Well done.
Loved the case studies.
So many useful tips/resources and importantly very patient centred which is fantastic.
I definitely feel more confident with management and how to support women through the journey of symptoms/ improvement/resolution! 
You paid attention to RACGP syllabus and made it relevant to GPs
The real life case studies bring this to life. Many thanks to these women.
I completed the entire course on my phone!
Loved the dynamic of the presenters, felt like you were in the room with them
Platform is fantastic - very user-friendly. I used the app on my computer, phone and ipad and it worked well across all these.
Really useful practical tips. Loved this.
I like how the modules are broken down to short segments, which can be completed in my own time
The anatomy talk was incredible.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course, thank you for including the video about what pelvic health physios do and treatment options.
