I recently completed Stanmore's Undergraduate Certificate in Geriatric Health Assessment, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! The course materials were engaging, up-to-date, and covered everything I needed to gain practical knowledge in geriatric health. For instance, I now feel confident in conducting comprehensive assessments and identifying age-related health issues. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in improving the quality of life for elderly individuals.
