"At Medsolve (Durham Branch), we take great pride in ensuring our staff are equipped with the highest standard of training, especially in areas critical to the safety and wellbeing of those we support. Distinction Solutions has consistently delivered exceptional training in Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression (PMVA), which has become an integral part of our staN development programme. Their trainers take the time to understand the diverse needs of our workforce and the individuals we care for, ensuring that the training is not only compliant with best practice standards but also relevant, engaging, and respectful of each person’s dignity. A particular strength of their PMVA delivery is the strong focus on de-escalation techniques. Rather than defaulting to physical intervention, the training empowers our staN with the skills, confidence, and mindset to identify early signs of distress, use proactive strategies, and defuse challenging situations safely and compassionately. This aligns perfectly with our values at Medsolve, where safety, empathy, and dignity are non-negotiables. We highly recommend Distinction Solutions as a trusted training provider and look forward to continuing our partnership."
