At The Maguire Communication and Leadership Academy, we specialise in helping healthcare professionals communicate with clarity, confidence and compassion — even in the most challenging moments of care. From within The Christie Institute for Cancer Education, our expert trainers deliver high-quality, evidence-based workshops both in our dedicated Manchester training facility and online, ensuring accessible learning wherever you are.
We believe that better communication leads to better care. Our mission is to strengthen the patient experience, support staff wellbeing and build a more confident, resilient workforce through high-quality communication training. Every programme we deliver is rooted in evidence, shaped by real clinical experience, and designed to make an immediate difference in practice.
Whether it’s navigating emotionally charged conversations, leading teams through uncertainty or building everyday confidence in communication, our work helps healthcare professionals feel more able, more supported, and more connected.
We translate values into actions.
Our team brings together decades of experience in communication skills training, behavioural science and clinical practice. We turn core values — compassion, collaboration, dignity and respect — into practical skills that can be embedded at every stage of a healthcare career.
Our approach aligns with national frameworks and organisational priorities, supporting quality improvement, patient safety and culture change. From frontline staff to senior leaders, we equip teams with the tools they need to create positive, meaningful interactions and deliver outstanding care.
