The problem
Worldwide, we’re on the path to being short 10 million healthcare professionals by 2030, according to the World Health Organization. And those were projections before pressures and burnout from COVID led to enormous turnover among healthcare professionals.
We have a crisis on our hands. And a huge barrier to attracting and retaining staff in the industry is the cost of training and education.
It’s crazy that the people who care for others, day in and day out, are burdened with the cost of their own training.
Health and social care professionals deserve better.
Our solution
Universal free access to healthcare education.
That’s right. Health and social care professionals shouldn’t have to pay for their own training. And with FuturU, they don’t have to.
We’re an online learning and career development platform for healthcare professionals, providing both mandatory and specialist courses to learners for free – plus no-stress low cost admin tools for managers.
Honestly, it’s the least we could do.
Who we are
FuturU is the industry-disrupting startup backed by the Directors of Newcross Healthcare.
We’re on a mission to empower health and social care professionals to achieve their potential through universal access to free education. And we’re doing that by using the latest technologies to enhance learning and development opportunities for healthcare professionals, while enabling health and social care organisations to train their staff faster.
FuturU is made up of UK-based educators, trainers, software engineers, product managers, content developers and assessors, and is used by more than 80,000 healthcare professionals in over 20 countries worldwide.
We’re also a specialised End-Point Assessment Organisation for levels 2 through 5 in health and social care EPAs as well as business administrator and team leader/supervisor EPAs.
And we provide on-demand, flexible access to regulated qualifications, like the Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate.

“It’s totally unfair that nurses, doctors, and care professionals have to pay for their training. There is a huge demand for these careers but they pay an enormous amount for the education itself. How does that make sense for something so important?”
