Our journey started in 2020 while researching the acute shortfall in the global healthcare workforce. This small project led to a big idea.
We wanted to help solve some of the bottlenecks in health education in the UK and abroad. This is a goal we share with our education partner, the University of Leeds. Together we hope to drive innovation, respond to international challenges and find new ways of framing the needs of a rapidly changing world.
We have a shared mission to initiate, accelerate and scale innovations with a constant focus on two inter-connected global challenges: health and education. Together we have the capability to provide quality online and in-person teaching with supervised virtual experiences which are underpinned with research.
“The University of Leeds has a superb track record in innovation in healthcare and medical education and we are committed to playing our part in tackling health inequalities in the UK and abroad.”
Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Leeds, Professor Simone Buitendijk
“An effective use of technology, alongside in-person learning and clinical practice, is the only way to train millions more healthcare workers affordably and to a high standard.”
