Confident Communication -F/dations in Speaking Assertively with Compassion

• Do you find it hard to speak up at work?

• Ever worry your message isn’t landing the way you intended?
• Need to deliver sensitive news but unsure how to approach it?

This one day face to face workshop is designed for those in non clinical roles who aren't managers to help increase confidence in communicating challenging or difficult messages in a clear, compassionate way — whether to patients, families, or colleagues — and want to feel more confident, clear and compassionate when they do.

Facilitated by experienced Maguire trainers, this course is uniquely tailored to those in non-leadership roles, including admin and clerical teams, who often feel their voice goes unheard. Using Maguire-trained techniques, grounded in real-life healthcare experience and evidence-based practice, the session combines presentations, video, and small-group work to help you practise new strategies in a safe space.

What will you take away?

• Practical tools for assertive, compassionate communication
• Confidence to speak clearly — even when it’s difficult
• Space to practice and reflect with others who get it

Why it matters:

Better communication boosts patient experience, reduces misunderstandings and strengthens team culture. And it all starts with feeling heard.

Suitable for

This workshop is suitable for all staff including admin & clerical without management or leadership roles

Cost: £245
