Zetesis

Educational Consultancy for the Health Professions

seeking clarity in complexity

Our Story

Our story began in 2006, with a collaboration of senior university academics across the UK united by a shared vision: to enhance access to healthcare education and provide support to aspiring healthcare professionals all the way from pre-admission, through undergraduate studies, to their early postgraduate careers.

Taking our name from the Ancient Greek word for "seeking," we embody the spirit of inquiry and continuous learning that characterises the healthcare professions. What began as a dedicated group of educators has evolved into a comprehensive educational consultancy, yet we remain true to our founding philosophy.

Zetesis works with individual students, helping them thrive from admission to graduation and beyond. And we partner with faculty and institutions to enhance their educational provision at a systemic level. We work with admissions teams to refine selection processes that identify and nurture diverse talent and help institutions develop robust student support frameworks that promote retention and success.

Our academic consultants bring extensive experience in curriculum reform to create more student-centred learning experiences. By bridging the gap between student needs and institutional objectives, we help create educational environments where both learners and educators can thrive.

How we work

For students

For institutions

We believe every student's journey is unique, which is why our process begins with understanding your individual needs. Our approach starts with an initial consultation where we explore your specific requirements and collaboratively develop a tailored support strategy designed to help you achieve your goals. Following this consultation, we carefully match you with one of our experienced academics whose expertise aligns with your needs, ensuring you receive the most relevant and effective guidance.

Getting started is simple. Contact us to explore how we can support your educational journey. If you feel our services align with your needs, you can book your initial consultation directly through our services tab. For ongoing support, we offer flexible consultancy services available in blocks of 1, 3, or 10 hours, allowing you to choose the level of assistance that best suits your requirements and schedule. This flexibility ensures you receive the right amount of support exactly when you need it, whether you're preparing for admissions, navigating challenging coursework, or planning your next career steps.

Our work with institutions follows a structured yet flexible approach designed to address each organisation's unique challenges and aspirations. The process begins with an initial consultation where we explore your institution's specific requirements, discuss the scope of your envisaged project, and co-develop a robust plan for conducting a needs assessment. This foundational meeting ensures we fully understand your context, constraints, and objectives before proceeding.

Following this consultation, we undertake a systematic needs assessment, examining relevant aspects of your educational provision, whether focusing on admissions processes, student and faculty support systems, or curriculum design. Our team then compiles a detailed report that provides evidence-based insights and actionable recommendations tailored to your institution's strategic goals.

Our consultants bring extensive experience from diverse healthcare education settings. We have worked with medical faculties, nursing schools, and programmes for allied health professions, supporting institutions both within the UK and internationally. This breadth of experience enables us to bring tested approaches while remaining sensitive to local contexts and regulatory requirements.

We recognise that every institution faces distinct challenges shaped by their student population, resources, academic traditions, and strategic priorities. No two projects are identical, which is why we encourage you to contact us to explore how our expertise can be applied to your specific needs and circumstances. A representative initial report is included in the services tab.
