6 · Sponsorship
No sponsorship agreement is in place for the next masterclass as at 18 October 2026. Sponsorship, if any, applies to the delivery costs of the masterclass only; the agenda, the content, the speakers and the materials are MD Acumen's. No attendee data goes to a sponsor without the delegate's explicit consent.
When an agreement is signed this declaration reads: "This masterclass has received sponsorship from [Company] in the form of [an educational grant towards venue and livestreaming costs]. [Company] has had no input into the agenda, the content, the speakers or the materials, which remain the responsibility and copyright of MD Acumen Ltd." The sponsor register is updated within seven days.
What changed this month
The living curriculum, in public
Guidance is watched for change; when a cornerstone guideline moves, the affected teaching is reviewed, re-signed and re-dated by a named clinician.
Each entry names the module, the change, the signer and the date. The list is read from the learning platform; where it cannot load, see the change log.
Every programme of MD Acumen sits under one of the seven bars of the header; nothing is deleted when pages move. Home
