Listen to Gloria share a simple outline of how the programme works.  We first met PreLink in 2018 at the World Innovation Summit for Health, Doha, Qatar.  Gloria soon joined as a  lead Trainer for South Africa and now leads Training in Sub Saharan Africa.  It all starts with a Trainer course and who knows where it will take you.

It was brilliant, I thought it was not going to work but it did.  I liked how you could access any time and for a year.  I can help my learners understand angles and support them with angles and technique.

Thank you for yesterday. The techniques you taught were great and have shown my colleague today. I’ve done 11 bloods supervised using a variety of black needles and vacutainers and butterflies and have so far had 100% success rate.
