Cohort oversight. Real‑time insight.

Yes. Alessia captures non-clinical work - what we call Professional Activities - as first-class evidence alongside clinical entries. Your trainees can record teaching and supervision, audits and QI cycles, leadership and governance activity, CPD and research, with notes, reflections and anonymised attachments where relevant. These activities can even contribute to goals that your faculty set.

Because everything is structured and #tagged, faculty gain clear visibility of professional development across a cohort - not just clinical numbers - and the same evidence exports cleanly into concise summaries or date-bounded reports for appraisal or review panels. The result is a fuller, more balanced picture of each trainee's development, captured once and ready to share without extra admin.

You get a partner, not just a platform. We agree clear SLAs for uptime, response and resolution, and give you named contacts for day-to-day support and escalation. We schedule regular success reviews to look at adoption, feedback, and upcoming needs. All institutional clients are offered a dedicated Slack or MS Teams channel so they are just clicks away from our Support Team.When you join Alessia, you embrace a shared roadmap. New capabilities are made available to you as part of your licence, with release notes, webinars, and opt-in pilots when you want to try features early. We may invite your educators to co-design sessions so your requirements inform what we build next.

In short, we stay close and keep building together.

Yes. We favour small, well-supported pilots that prove value before scaling up. Together we’ll choose the right cohort - for example a single site, a training year or a specific programme - agree clear success measures, and run short feedback loops so we can refine workflows, wording and training materials in real time. Your team sets the pace.  We align to your academic calendar and supervisor availability.  And we co-design the rollout plan so it fits your programme. When the pilot meets its goals, we expand confidently, with your early adopters acting as champions and the platform already tested.

Yes. Alessia is designed to complement what you already run, not replace it wholesale. We take a modular approach. Our first step is a short discovery to map what’s working, where the gaps are, and where Alessia adds the most value without duplicating effort.

Interoperability is part of the plan. Where your existing systems allow it, we can exchange data via APIs so information flows cleanly and staff don’t have to enter things twice. Roll-out can be phased - start with one capability or cohort, prove value, then extend - so you gain clarity and oversight without disrupting established tools.

We work with you to understand how your programme runs so that trainees get feedback from the right supervisor at the right time, and faculty have full visibility. Supervisor loops can be implemented either as a standalone request or as part of an assessment workflow, and can be mandatory or optional. Supervisors get a clear to-do list, complete your custom evaluation templates, adding comments and grade attainment using local programme language. A built-in chat lets supervisors and trainees clarify points and agree actions in the same place as the evidence. Faculty choose when the loop is triggered, can manage supervisors and allocations, and can see live throughput, response times and completion, which brings real transparency to feedback quality.


The result is better training with less chasing. Trainees receive timely feedback they can act on and save themselves chasing supervisors for a signature. Supervisors spend less time shuffling bits of paper and more time giving meaningful input through a simple, slick interface. Faculty gain a reliable view of who has done what, where, and when.

Alessia currently supports 11 assessment types:

• Acute Care Assessment Tool (ACAT)
• Case-based Discussion (CbD)
• Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS)
• Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX)
• Outpatient Care Assessment Tool (OPCAT)
• Procedure-Based Assessment (PBA)
• Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS)
• Multi-Source Feedback (MSF)
• Teaching Observation
• Patient Survey
• Appraisal

For now, workplace based assessments can be logged by uploading your own digital or scanned file, and annotating the entry with the assessor, date, related clinical entry, completed form, overall grade and competencies where applicable.

However, we are in the process of building each format into a fully structured digital assessment workflow that will include scheduling, reminders and supervisor feedback loops. Our assessment framework will be configurable, so you can add college, speciality, pathway or organisation-specific workplace based assessments (WPBAs) with their own graded domains, rating scales, outcomes, entrustment levels, competency verification, feedback and evidence requirements. We will also be expanding our Assessment log category to include:

• Consultation Observation Tool (COT)
• Quality Improvement Project Assessment Tool (QIPAT) / audit assessment
• Clinical supervisor/end-of-placement reports
• Observed Clinical Activity (OCA)
• Assessment of Procedural and Surgical Skills (APSS)
• Random Case Analysis (RCA)
• Mid/end-of-term assessments
• Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA) assessments

If there are any assessment types we are missing, just let us know.

Absolutely. Alessia was built in the real world of complex rotations. Here’s an example:

With a major European university spanning medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy and veterinary programmes, we co-designed a system for weekly, multi-country rotations covering 500+ students, ~1,000 supervisors and 80+ sites. The job to be done was clear: who is where, when, supervised by whom -  proof that it happened and evidence of how.

In practice, we enabled the client to bulk upload rotation schedules, connect supervisors to the right students on the right placements at the right time, and provided schedule visibility (and accountability) to everyone involved.  We also brought transparency to supervisor feedback (timeliness, frequency, depth), and for their dental school programme, introduced goal sets that aligned the university clinic schedules with each individual’s learning needs - routing students towards the right patients and procedures for required exposure.

Together we massively reduced admin overhead, achieved predictable delivery at scale, reduced oversight gaps, and provided an auditable record across dozens of sites.

Absolutely - that's exactly what Alessia is built for. Just provide us with your curriculum framework and evaluation processes, and we will configure Alessia to match your programme, including your terminology, domains, and assessment rules. In a short co-design phase we encode your framework so trainees can link evidence to the right requirements and faculty can view progress in the language you use. When guidance changes, you create a new version of the framework and carry on. Existing entries remain intact, new entries follow the new format. The result is a living model of your curriculum that stays current over time, with clear, reviewer-friendly outputs, and no rebuild when standards move.

Alessia is used across the clinical spectrum by individual clinicians and institutions.

Doctors across acute, surgical and medical domains use Alessia as their individual clinical portfolio, either on its own to build extensive multi-year evidence, or as an on-the-job logbook to collate clinical activity logs for submission to mandated systems. Because of its flexibility, Alessia can also be easily used by wider Advanced Practitioners, Nurse Practitioners and Allied Health Professionals for collating clinical experience across their career.

Alessia is available for healthcare institutions (hospitals, specialty boards and universities) to help manage the learning and development of clinical trainees on a range of postgraduate and specialty training programmes. And at undergraduate level, Alessia supports the clinical development of thousands of medical, dental, physiotherapy and veterinary students.

In short: our flexible portfolio model and smart tooling make Alessia relevant to every sphere of clinical practice.

Alessia supports safe and ethical clinical practice. Our platform is built for anonymised logging only - patient identifiable data (PID) must never be entered. Attachments can be edited to remove PID using our upload tooling, so your portfolio stays both comprehensive and confidential.  Alessia also provides reminders not to include identifiers, so safe practice is reinforced.
