The story so far...

At BiteLabs, our strength lies in our people. We are a team of passionate professionals, each bringing a wealth of experience from diverse backgrounds in healthcare, healthtech, pharma, and life sciences. United by a shared vision, we are committed to driving innovation and making a lasting impact in these industries.

2019

An idea out of Frustration

In 2019, frustrated by the lack of quality OSCE teaching, we founded OSCEBites to enhance medical education through in-person OSCE events and comprehensive booklets. The response was overwhelming, with each event attracting up to 60 students, demonstrating a significant demand for accessible training.

2020

BiteMedicine

Encouraged by our success, in 2020, we decided to reinvest our profits and focus on a broader vision: developing an online platform to support medical students and physician associates. This led to the creation of BiteMedicine. Our innovative approach to medical education did not go unnoticed; we were honored to receive recognition from the General Medical Council (GMC), the British Government, and even Her Late Majesty the Queen.

2021

BitePACES Launched

By 2022, as our community of students began to graduate, we identified a new need and launched BitePACES—a one-day intensive course designed to help doctors prepare for the Practical Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills (PACES) exam. With up to 80 doctors attending each event, we have quickly become one of the UK's leading centers for PACES exam preparation.

02/2023

BiteLabs Healthtech

In 2023, responding to the increasing challenges faced by doctors within the NHS, we launched the UK's first hybrid program to upskill clinicians in digital health competencies. Accredited by EduQual, this program has trained over 500 doctors, equipping them with vital skills for navigating the evolving healthcare landscape.

06/2024

BiteLabs Pharma

Additionally, we expanded our educational reach into the pharmaceutical sector with the creation of BiteLabs Pharma (formerly BitePharma), providing advanced training for pharmacists and healthcare professionals.

10/2024

BiteLabs & The City of London

In 2024, we collaborated with the City of London under the 'Connect to Prosper' scheme. This initiative focuses on promoting London as a global hub of excellence by connecting healthcare institutions, academic bodies, and other stakeholders to foster innovation and collaboration in the healthcare sector.

2025

Global Expansion

Looking ahead, we are set to expand globally later this year. BiteLabs Pharma will launch its comprehensive pharmaceutical training programs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), supporting the country’s efforts to modernize its healthcare sector. At the same time, we will introduce our innovative HealthTech course in the United States, addressing the growing need for digital health expertise among clinicians.
