Why partner

Education your clinicians can act on — and you can evidence

Three reasons institutions choose MD Acumen over a generic course library.

🎓

Credit-bearing

Every programme is a FHEQ Level 7 CAS — 20 UK credits / 10 ECTS, awarded by New Vision University — not an unaccredited certificate of attendance.

♻️

Always current

Modules are kept aligned with the latest NICE, ESC, KDIGO and equivalent thresholds — so your teams learn this month's standard, not last year's.

📈

Returns value

Each learner's capstone is a quality-improvement project delivered inside your own service — measurable benefit, not just a certificate.

NHS Integrated Care Boards & neighbourhood hubs

Upskill multi-professional teams for care closer to home

As chronic-disease care moves into the neighbourhood, your GPs, prescribing pharmacists and advanced clinical practitioners need confident, assessed, extended-scope competence in exactly the areas MD Acumen covers — integrated cardiorenal-metabolic care, menopause and midlife health, and headache. We deliver cohort programmes that map to the NHS England multi-professional framework and return a service improvement from every learner.

Cohort licences

Enrol a team or a whole neighbourhood at a per-seat cohort rate, with progress and completion reporting.

Inside your environment

Deploy modules into your own learning platform (LTI into Canvas, Blackboard and equivalents), co-branded for your hub.

Capstone = QI in your service

Every learner delivers an audit, quality-improvement plan or service design where they work — aligned to your optimisation goals.

Mapped & evidenced

Curriculum-aligned to the RCGP curriculum and the NHSE multi-professional framework, with cohort-level reporting for your governance.

Specialist professional societies

Education commissioned by institutions

MD Acumen is an experienced provider of undergraduate and postgraduate education for universities and NHS healthcare professionals. Higher education institutions, healthcare clinics and facilities, corporate organisations and patient-facing healthcare organisations may commission MD Acumen to provide current, high-quality education that meets the requirements of the institution and its learners.

Education is delivered by experienced senior UK clinicians, and all educational activity is quality assured. The curriculum is kept current: newly published clinical guidelines and articles from leading medical journals are reviewed on a regular schedule and reflected in the teaching.

🤝

Co-branded cohorts

A society-badged CAS for your membership, with shared editorial oversight of the clinical content.

🧭

Curriculum collaboration

Map your consensus statements and standards into the syllabus, kept current as your guidance evolves.

Industry & unrestricted educational sponsorship

Support primary-care education — at arm's length, fully disclosed

Pharmaceutical and life-sciences companies are warmly invited to approach MD Acumen to provide unrestricted educational sponsorship for relevant CAS courses, in a fully ABPI Code-compliant manner, to further the education of registered healthcare professionals working in primary care.

Independence is absolute, and protected by design. An unrestricted educational grant gives a sponsor no influence — none — over curriculum, faculty selection, assessment, learner data, or any clinical recommendation. Content remains under sole MD Acumen / awarding-body editorial control. Every arrangement is declared publicly in our Sponsor Disclosure Register, and programmes remain "curriculum-aligned with" the relevant guideline bodies — never "endorsed by" a sponsor.

What sponsorship can do

Widen access for primary-care clinicians to credit-bearing education in a therapy area of shared public-health importance.

What it never does

Shape content, name a product, select faculty, or see learner data. No promotional material sits within the education.

How it's governed

Written unrestricted-grant agreement, public disclosure, and an auditable separation of funding from educational design.

How partnership works

From first call to evidenced outcomes

A clear, governed sequence — the same whether you are an ICB, a society or a sponsor.
