Bengaluru-based OC Academy, a leading upskilling online platform for medical professionals, has joined forces with the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London, UK, to launch Online Postgraduate Diploma Programmes in India. This collaboration crystalises their shared commitment to broaden access to world-class healthcare education. 

With one of the largest networks of healthcare professionals within OC Academy, this partnership presents Queen Mary with a unique opportunity to further enhance its reputation, leveraging established connections in India through state-of-the-art digital education. This builds upon the firm foundation of Queen Mary being a top Russell Group university destination for Indian students studying in the UK.

The final signoff of the agreement took place at the UK-India Healthcare Trade Mission in Mumbai, in the presence of Harjinder Kang, Trade Commissioner (South Asia) and British Deputy High Commissioner, Western India; and Professor Sir Stephen Powis, National Medical Director for NHS England, along with Professor Richard Grose, Dean for Global Engagement, and Professor Chie Adachi, Dean for Digital Education, from Queen Mary University of London, and Balu Ramachandran, Founder & CEO of OC Academy. 

Harjinder Kang expressed, “The new programme will be instrumental in helping to educate and train many Indian doctors and nurses to UK standards of excellence and best practice.”
