I completed First Aid Mental Health with HealthFirst Sàrl which I thoroughly enjoyed.

“Dr. Wright and her team deliver an excellent, interactive, fun learning experience of a very important aspect of public health promotion. Whether Mental Health course or other health promotion courses HealthFirst Sàrl are the best.”

Informative and practical

“An informative and practical session filled with tips and reminders essential to first response in an accident situation. As an active family of hikers, cyclists and skiers It was a necessary refresher of the first aid fundamentals, professionally delivered. Highly recommended.”

An informative Zoom lunchtime webinar

“Dr Michelle Wright, along with Dr Mecky McNeil and nutritionist Emma Jenks, spent a very informative hour talking via zoom to the staff in our Geneva office. The topic was Eat Well, Stress Less, which was very relevant due to the current work from home situation we still have in place. The team really appreciated the contents and the enthusiasm in delivery, and are asking when we'll have another session on other topics !”
