Built for how clinicians actually learn, so that training sticks.
Most training is designed to be delivered, not necessarily remembered.
At Upskill, we've designed our learning system on a foundation of best evidence on memory, retrieval and behaviour change. Because training that's forgotten within a month isn't really learning.
One-off training fades. Training in the flow of work doesn't.
Without reinforcement, most new knowledge is gone within a month. We've known this for over a hundred years, through multiple research studies.
Upskill was specifically designed to combat this. Our 'case studies' are made up of short, bitesize lessons that fit alongside clinical work.
Each case is built on 'spaced repetition' of key concepts and topics, allowing for deliberate revision of knowledge and refreshment of skills throughout the year.

Illustrative curves based on Ebbinghaus, replicated by Murre & Dros (2015). Spacing and retrieval effects based on Cepeda et al. (2006), Roediger & Karpicke (2006) and Kerfoot et al. (2010).
Six principles, guiding every case study.
These aren't abstract theories. Each principle is drawn from decades of educational evidence on how people learn and remember — and each one shapes how we design and build our case studies.

Mothers and babies are still experiencing preventable harm. They deserve an NHS that learns faster.
