Testimonials
Mr. Peyton is an exceptional educator, and was successful in relaying much needed information to members of my faculty. The course was complete, educational, and of substantial value to us as surgical educators. Your College is fortunate to have a dedicated and talented individual in Mr. Peyton. His skills as a trainer of trainers was most evident.

I just wanted to say a big thank you as it would have been extremely difficult if you had not been able to get there. It would probably have meant cancelling the course which would have been awful. Unfortunately I quite regularly see people who don't want to make the effort to do things both in clinical practice and medical education. Hearing that you had come almost on foot from Ireland to educate was brilliant!

I wanted to thank you again for your efforts during the last week. It was a pleasure for all of us to have you at ESI and you did a tremendous job. I really do hope you enjoyed your time as well and I am very much looking forward to seeing you all again in October. Special thanks for your very useful feedback to my presentations. I really did appreciate this very much and I had a lot of fun too.

Mr Rodney Peyton is teaching doctors all over the globe in the art of clinical teaching. There is a great demand for his excellent Training the Trainers courses, above all in Europe where countries and doctors are queuing up to invite him to their places. We have had the great privilege to have him at Practicum – Lund Clinical Skills Centre in Lund, Sweden (www.practicum.se) for more than ten occasions. This has certainly been conductive to the improved quality we have observed among our clinical educators during recent years. My recommendation is that you line up and ask him to come to your spot on earth as well. It will certainly pay off.

I would like to thank you personally for assisting our health service in the numerous ways you have done. The outcome is positive and this has in a major way been due to your skilful handling of the work that you undertook on our behalf.
Dr. Philip Crowley, National Director, Quality & Patient Safety, Health Service Executive
Treining the trainers is a must for all educators in any professional sitation. The course syllabus gives background and tools that are applicable in most situations of daily teaching activities. You would be surprised to find how much you learn about your self! Mr Peyton gives substantial personal flavour to the course.
Kerstin Sandelin MD FRCS FACS, Institutionen för molekylär medicin och kirurgi, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm
Thank you for doing one of the best and most rewarding courses I have ever experienced. The course taught me more than you first would imagine.
The hardfacts was important but the soft parts gave the most. Dr Peyton and dr Sandelin shared their knowledge and vulnerability and succeded making me understand that choosing the way of "aware vulnerability" is the right way to lead and teach.

two days after your course I was planned to lecture for four hours to the ambulance helicopter staff. Just to let you know: I re-planned my sessions according to what I learned from you and started with an MCQ, asked for the particiants' goals (and made sure to cover them all), used poster dating - and I occasionally sat down! I love teaching but this was probably my best teaching experience ever, and the response from the participants was very positive. So again many thanks!

The feedback regarding the lecture was excellent - everyone seemed to think it and you were wonderful.

It was a pleasure to meet you and be educated by you. It is amazing how a short encounter can make a big change. You have motivated me and I shall strive to learn more.

HSE Dublin North East engaged Consultant Surgeon Mr Rodney Peyton to undertake an independent review into aspects of clinical practuice in the area. This review process involved a series of meetings with all key stakeholders which included patients and or their relatives, clinical staff, hospital management and external agencies such as the Colleges and Unions. The process was extremely well managed and Mr Peyton secured the confidence of all participants. The review was conducted in a fair and transparent manner and HSE DNE is grateful to Mr Peyton for the independent report and recommendations provided.
