Point Six

What Point Six does

Point Six (Point Six Training Ltd.) is a UK-based healthcare training provider headquartered in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, founded in 2006. The company delivers clinical and non-clinical continuing professional development (CPD) courses to NHS organisations, GPs, allied health professionals, and individual learners across the United Kingdom, with spirometry training as its flagship offering. Its curriculum is aligned with the Association for Respiratory Technology & Physiology (ARTP) standards and features content authored by senior practicing clinicians, including Joanne Hamilton (a director with 35+ years of clinical experience), Dr Tom Milligan, and Bev Bostock.

The underlying platform is a WordPress-based e-learning site using the LearnDash learning management system (LMS), delivering video lectures, multiple-choice questions, and knowledge checks. Point Six has built a content library spanning respiratory diagnostics (spirometry), pharmacology, and broader workforce topics such as wellbeing, and has expanded into ABPI-compliant training delivery for pharmaceutical company partners and workplace wellbeing content via a partnership with SitStrong.

Point Six's business model is built on four revenue streams: (1) one-time course license sales to individual learners and NHS institutions, priced from £40 for short webinars to £1,055 for combined flagship courses; (2) bespoke training commissioned by NHS bodies; (3) event management services for healthcare clients; and (4) pharmaceutical company partnerships for ABPI-compliant training. Go-to-market is primarily direct to NHS Training Hubs and Integrated Care Boards, supplemented by individual learner purchases and B2B pharma channel partnerships. The company is privately held, has no disclosed external funding, and operates as an organic, self-funded small-to-medium enterprise.
