HPAC was founded in 2016, to bring together a number of experts in health professions education and assessment, who had been working collaboratively on various projects for many years. The idea was to offer consultancy work and education with a focus on evidence-based assessment.

Originally, we offered two annual courses in London: The Foundations of Assessment (FAC) and the International Advanced Assessment Course (IAAC). We also offered these in Singapore. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face courses were halted in 2020. Since then, we have offered a suite of courses and workshops online.

Our consultancy work has continued as we are invited to review institutional assessment programmes and conduct bespoke Faculty Development courses internationally. In 2023, we have recommenced in person courses, starting with our Advanced Assessment Course, offered in partnership with the Royal College of Surgeons Dental Faculty.

All our consultants have extensive expertise in the pedagogy and best practice of design and development of curricula and assessments, quality assurance work and wide experience in the undergraduate and postgraduate education arenas.
