The lectures were informative and interesting as the speakers presented the lectures vividly. In the afternoon, through demonstration and return-demonstration; participants not only showed their interests and enthusiasm, but also practiced within a supportive learning environment. They enjoyed learning through return-demonstration, sharing experience and exchanging skill and knowledge with the instructors. At the end of the day, a short video show of the workshop was wonderful and showing that the participants were concentrated and serious during the learning process.

To conclude, it was a successful workshop due to the great effort contributed by the speakers, instructors and members of the AADO nurse sub-committee.
