Behind the content
Written from commercial practice, not a textbook.
Where people start
Product managers and customer-facing teams are expected to understand the NHS, pricing, evidence and procurement without ever being taught them properly. Most people arrive here with one of these problems.
Two pathways
Product managers need the full commercial toolkit. Customer-facing teams need a sound grounding in how the market works. Most companies use both.
Pathway 01
In depthFor product, category and marketing managers, and those moving into the role.
Pathway 02
FoundationFor sales support, customer service and anyone new to UK healthcare.
Two ways in
I’m developing a team
Team and company licences give you a mix of seats across both pathways, activity reporting, and scheduled one-to-ones with James. The fastest way to see whether it fits is a twenty-minute walkthrough.
I’m developing my career
Twelve months’ access, a digital certificate on completion and the members’ community. Start with the free MHRA module and see how it is taught before you pay anything.
How it is built
So the modules are the foundation, not the whole programme. Teams can add psychometric profiling and one-to-one coaching on top.
PART 01
UK-specific modules, audio-led, with quizzes, downloads and further reading. Content is reviewed and refreshed as the market changes.
PART 02
The Spotlight Performance psychometric from Mindflick: a profile, a digital report and a 60 to 90 minute debrief.
PART 03
One-to-one sessions with James to apply the learning to the real launches, tenders and customers in front of each person.
Who wrote it
James Saunders · Founder
I have spent thirty years at the commercial end of medical devices: as a product manager, a marketing leader and now a consultant through Med Dev Services. Across wound care, ostomy and continence I have launched products, priced them, won and lost tenders, and worked with the NHS from both sides of the table.
The Academy exists because I kept meeting talented people who had been handed a commercial role and never taught how the UK market works. It is the training I would have wanted.
