A personal welcome
Thanks for visiting my website and Welcome – or Croeso, as we say in Wales.
I’m Mike, and while I trade under the Mike Phillips Training brand. I do much more than just training. I work with individuals and organisations to create inclusive, engaging learning experiences that make a real difference. My work is grounded in my INSPIRE values.
My passion for working with older people and those living with dementia began in childhood. I spent many days in the care home where my grandmother was Matron, and I still remember one resident with her belongings packed, waiting to be moved to Ely Hospital (which as an adult I learned was an asylum) – an experience that shaped my lifelong commitment to improving dementia care.
