Two clinicians who stayed for the education.

Phillips Byrne Training is run by us, Jamie and Michelle. A registered nurse and a registered radiographer, coming at the same questions from different parts of healthcare.

Jamie came through nursing. Michelle came through radiography. One of us has spent recent years in hospice and charity care, the other in private diagnostics.

We started the business because the organisations that most need this support are often the ones least able to fund a full internal team: hospices, small charities and independent providers doing serious work without the infrastructure a large trust takes for granted.

Registered Nurse (Adult)

Jamie Phillips RN

I qualified as an adult nurse and worked in community and palliative care before moving into learning and development. What pulled me across was noticing how much of what makes care good or poor comes down to how people were prepared, supported and led.

I have led organisational learning and clinical education for a hospice charity: writing its first clinical education strategy, moving training in-house, embedding clinical supervision, building internal leadership development, and rebuilding how learning data was structured and reported.

Before nursing I spent seven years in information systems, managing data teams and delivering system migrations. It is an unusual route into L&D, and useful—most healthcare learning problems are partly data problems.

I work on: learning strategy, leadership development, training assurance and programme design.

Registered Radiographer

Michelle Phillips

I trained as a radiographer and spent nearly eight years at a large NHS trust before moving into the independent sector. I worked as a senior radiographer, then as deputy manager of a busy imaging service, and now work in clinical education for a private diagnostics provider.

MRI safety is where much of my work sits. It is an area where getting the training wrong is not simply a compliance problem—it is a patient safety problem. I am interested in whether people know what to do when something is not routine.

I work on: imaging and diagnostics education, safety-critical training, competency frameworks and programme design.

What we believe

Learning in healthcare is not a training department activity. It is how safe care gets made and remade every day.

Compassion is not a soft add-on to clinical quality. When people feel heard, teams perform better and care follows.

Consultants should work themselves out of a job. If you still need us in three years, one of us has done something wrong.

Two perspectives on the same problem.
