Testimonials
Thank you for a fantastic AGM. It was inspiring and fascinating, and everything worked smoothly. I know most of the work that goes on in arranging these events is unseen on the day, so thank you for all the hard work in making it a success.
Merran McRae, Chair of Trust, Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
The way you managed, organised and supported our big day was superb….so professional. Your calmness and kindness enabled the day to run smoothly….. and your sense of humour made, what could have been a very stressful day, fun. Thanks for everything. Look forward to working with you again in the future!

The course was well put together, with efficient time management. The Trust's management team were also down to earth and mingled with everyone. And of course, the food was nice!!
Anne Alase, Higher Trainee, Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
I wanted to message you all to say a huge thank you for all the thoughts, planning, creativity and organisation that made the AGM such a wonderful event. The feedback from everyone I spoke to has been rightly excellent. I know these events take a lot of work and this year you really did deliver a day for us all to be proud of. So, personally from me and on behalf of all the board thank you.
Dr Sara Munro, Chief Executive Officer, Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
We enjoyed working with the team at the Andrew Sims centre. The ask was to deliver a quality improvement course for SAS doctors at the Trust. The team were very approachable, responsive to queries, and happy to make changes to fit in with work schedules. On the day of the training team members were present and helped ensure the day went without a hitch. We look forward to working together again in the future.

It was a pleasure working with you and we will certainly choose the Andrew Sims Centre for future event planning and delivery. The event was run seamlessly from beginning to end, it was very well co-ordinated which left out team and event facilitators able to enjoy the day, focus on the task in hand and enjoy the highly important networking. We could tell that the delegates and facilitators were happy, engaged and confident in the set up of each session. Commissioning the ASC was the best thing we could have done, it alleviated so much of the stress and ‘leg work’ involved in the organising, planning and facilitation of a conference.

I have worked with the Andrew Sims Centre on 2 conferences this Spring ‘21. The organisation has been excellent – sorting out all the practicalities efficiently, facilitating the programme, coordinating and communicating with speakers and delegates, organising delegate packs, changes to the programmes at short notice, obtaining and summarising feedback and issuing certificates of attendance and thanks. As a busy clinician, I significantly reduced email traffic in relation to the meeting and simply had a planned update with Sophie at the Centre, as needed. The organisation has been particularly helpful and skilled in moving conference to an online platform in the COVID19 era, allowing the best virtual environment. As the conference organiser and chair, their presence behind the scene on the day allowed excellent support for the delegates with any access and IT issues, allowing me to concentrate on the content of the conference. Particular thanks to Sophie Billingsley for excellent co-ordination. Thank you Andrew Sims!

The ASC is a very comprehensive service who are very good at supporting and promptly reply to queries. The event ran smoothly and the team were great; Very helpful and thought of everything. As an organiser, I could participate fully without having to deal with admin and I could focus on the content of the day. I was keen to promote environmentally friendly approaches and the ASC showed interest and supported this.
Susan Guthrie, Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust & University of Leeds
The team at Andrew Sims made the event that I had put on run really smoothly and it was very well received. Communication throughout the process was prompt and helpful. The team thought of things that I hadn’t even considered and were always one step ahead of what might be needed. I am certainly planning to use them again for next years event
