Feedback:

- Practical sessions about immediate assistance were great and very clarifying.  Duration was fine.

- I was pleased to have the chances to ask unsolved questions to the experts and it was so grateful to have good answers.  It would have been better if a customized training program was organized according to the knowledge level of the participants.

- The simulation sessions involving patient management with team training was well conducted and educational.

- I think this training is very good to understand what radiation is, how the effects of radiation and how to handle it in the event of a radiation disaster.
