About Maudsley Learning

We specialise in creating and delivering tailored courses to address the evolving professional development requirements of healthcare professionals, ranging from General Practitioners and nurses to professionals in diverse sectors such as social services, law enforcement, education, and the private industry.

In addition, we offer bespoke programs designed to fulfill the multi-professional needs of organisations and businesses, with a strategic emphasis on elevating safety and quality standards. Our track record speaks volumes, as we have consistently excelled in providing commissioned training on a national scale. We take immense pride in our accomplishment of Maudsley Simulation being named the BMJ national Education Team of the Year 2018.

‍Building positive relationships with our customers is supremely important to us, whether individuals booking one course or organisations commissioning a wider program of work.

We can deliver the best quality learning experiences in both traditional and innovative training formats, delivered by subject matter experts at global centres of excellence in South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) and our university partners, the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), King’s College London.

Furthermore, our agility allows us to respond to the needs of our customers, producing bespoke courses tailored to your unique requirements.

We look forward to working with you.
