We created Transforming Care Academy so that care teams can learn the way we have learned: in real services, alongside the people who use them. Our training is built around real situations, shaped by lived experience and taught by people who have worked in care, so it changes what happens on shift, not just what is written in a policy.

Our goal is to challenge how health and social care training is done. Meeting the requirements is only the starting point. By pairing real-life experience with engaging, innovative methods, working alongside experts by experience and embracing technology such as virtual reality, we aim to deliver training that is meaningful, memorable and improves the care people receive.
CQC regulates care providers. It does not accredit or endorse this training. The rating is the one held by Innovations in Care, the care provider our founders operate.
