For institutions
Bring credit-bearing, current education to your clinicians
MD Acumen partners with NHS Integrated Care Boards, specialist professional societies and industry to deliver FHEQ Level 7 Certificate of Advanced Studies programmes — assessed, ECTS-bearing, and kept up to date.

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.
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.
Turn your guidance into accredited learning
Societies hold the trust and the standards; MD Acumen brings the academic framework to convert them into a credit-bearing, assessed, continuously-updated CAS for your members. We co-design and co-brand — your expertise and endorsement of the clinical standards, our awarding partnership, assessment design and currency engine.
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.
Member CPD that counts
Give members an academically recognised, ECTS-bearing award — not just conference hours.
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.
From first call to evidenced outcomes
A clear, governed sequence — the same whether you are an ICB, a society or a sponsor.

Cohort outcomes for your governance
Academically serious. Editorially independent.
Every programme is governed end-to-end by a Bologna-aligned quality scheme and signed off clinically before it goes live. Funding, where present, is disclosed and separated from educational design. See our quality & governance and what a CAS is.
