A better kind of engagement

Engage your target audiences with education that genuinely helps them.

The old lunch-and-learn has been a stalwart of medical engagement for years. But there's a growing appetite for education that can be re-used, refreshed, and that builds real insight into hot topics and pinch points. There's an opportunity to change medical education — giving healthcare professionals genuinely useful learning, under your brand, that builds trust, reputation and relationships without ever crossing into promotion.

We build that for you: a branded Skills Academy of expert-led sessions and microlearning your customers actually value — designed from the first brief to sit comfortably within the ABPI Code as clearly-sponsored, non-promotional education.

What it is

A Skills Academy, built in your name.

Not a product pitch dressed up as a talk. A genuine library of education — mini-lectures from leading academics and clinicians, practical microlearning, and CPD-ready modules with certificates of completion — that helps practices work better and patients do better.

It carries your endorsement, builds your standing with the audiences that matter, and gives your field and medical teams a reason to be welcomed in.

Example content

The kind of thing we make.

From product-neutral practice skills to genuinely educational sessions in the therapy areas your teams care about — always education-first, and flexed to the right format for the subject. A flavour below; every academy is built to your brief.

Expert mini-lecture
ASU Health

Speech as a window to brain health: Alzheimer's

An academic-led mini-lecture on early signals of cognitive change — and one of 800+ pieces from our Learning Sparks studio. Credible, therapy-relevant content, with no product in sight.

New technology explored
Innovation

Using PDT in practice

An accessible overview of a new technology for HCPs — our innovation format, where complementary or overlapping technologies can be introduced and explained clearly to a clinical audience.

Professional standards
MDDUS

Introducing confidentiality

Confidentiality and disclosing information, from our work with MDDUS. An example of a lower-budget approach that scales just as easily across a whole content series.

How it works

Experts in. Scalable content out.

One studio model that turns a day with the right expert into a whole programme of education — working for the expert, for you, and for your audiences.

1

Bring the experts in

We produce polished studio sessions with leading academics and clinicians, paid as faculty for their time. They share their own version on their channels too — boosting their reputation and amplifying your programme's reach.

2

Turn it into a programme

From each session we build scalable assets: short mini-lectures, bite-sized microlearning and e-learning journeys — flexed from polished documentary to studio teaching to peer-to-peer case discussion, and designed on the science of how people actually learn and retain.

3

Deliver, track & certify

Delivered to your chosen audiences with completion tracking and certificates. Modules are built so learners can log genuine CPD — reflection and all — with formal accreditation an option, plus insight back to you on who's engaging, and how deeply.

Who it reaches

The people you most want to build a relationship with.

One academy, tailored content for every level of the practice — reaching the influencers of your business targets with something they genuinely welcome.

GPs

Practical education that respects their time and supports better everyday care.

Specialists & consultants

Peer-level sessions with leading academics — credible, current and worth their attention.

Pharmacists

Focused, applied learning for the pharmacy team, on the topics that shape their day.

Practice managers & admin

CPD-style modules with certificates of completion that tick real professional-development boxes.

Compliant by design

Built to sit within the Code.

Non-promotional education is exactly the kind of value the ABPI Code encourages pharma to provide. We build it that way from the first brief — and work hand-in-hand with your medical and compliance teams so it clears review.

We're a content and creative partner, not a compliance authority — final sign-off always sits with your medical/compliance function.

Education, not promotion. No product claims, balanced and evidence-based — kept firmly on the non-promotional side of the line.

Clearly sponsored, independently built. Your role as funder is declared upfront, while the education itself is developed independently — transparent, never disguised.

Product information kept separate. Where you want to share product detail, it lives in its own clearly-labelled space — never inside the education, always distinct from it.

Genuine value to patient care & the NHS. Positioned as medical & educational goods and services, routed through Medical Affairs.

Faculty engaged properly. Experts contracted for genuine services at fair market value, with transfers of value disclosable.

Open, not gated as a reward. Offered as genuine education — never as an inducement tied to prescribing.
