We specialise in designing and delivering evidence-based courses to help healthcare professionals improve their healthcare communications skills. Our goal is to empower professionals with the tools they need to excel in effective and compassionate healthcare communications.
We become partners alongside healthcare organisations who are committed and dedicated to nurturing healthcare professionals to become mindful and reflective communicators. Through our communication skills training courses, who excel in providing person-centred care to those people accessing their services.
Consequently, both individuals and organisations can benefit from the training we offer.
Here are some examples of what we can do:
At some point in our lives, we all have experiences with healthcare, whether they be positive or negative. Sharing your experiences can help healthcare professionals improve their communication and provide more effective care to their patients.
At Healthcare Communication Matters, we value your input and would like to hear about your experiences with healthcare communication. By sharing your story, you can help healthcare professionals better understand your needs and experiences.
Positive experiences may include feeling heard and understood, by someone who was compassionate and wanted to listen to you. Negative experiences may include feeling ignored or dismissed.
We encourage you to share your experiences, as they can provide valuable insights into what works well and what needs improving. Our goal is to help healthcare professionals deliver the best care possible, and your feedback can help make that happen.

Patients tell us in their own words what their healthcare experience in relation to communication was like. They provide key learning points they would like healthcare professionals and other patients to take away from their experience.
We provide education and informative blogs for patients and healthcare professionals to read. Additionally, we may link to interesting stories or articles we have found.
Do you avoid having difficult conversations with colleagues at work? You are not alone. We can make it easier on ourselves though.
