About the programme:
Following the experiences of recent years and in particular the feedback from last year’s meeting in Amsterdam, we will be focussing on the practical applications of CME in Europe, illustrating this with examples of programmes carried out in Europe.
- What does a European CME programme look like?
- Are European CME regulations becoming less complicated?
- What role are medical societies playing in European CME?
- How does CME affect clinical practice?
- What does industry want in return for supporting CME programmes?
- What do “CME Providers” do in Europe?
- What are the concerns about commercial companies being involved in CME?
We will be addressing these and other questions at the 5th Annual meeting of the European CME Forum in London this November.

PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS
CME-X-tra
Many articles are written about CME systems from across the globe, but when do we have the opportunity to compare them side by side? This year will have have the privilege to meet and engage with three heads of CME bodies across the globe, comparing and contrasting their various systems. Edwin Borman as the new Secretary-General of UEMS-EACCME, Murray Kopelow the long- standing architect of the ACCME in the US, and a representative from the often lauded system of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners will have the opportunity to present the highlights and experiences of their respective systems and bring their expertise to the European environment.
Born in the USA - 2
Last year we saw one of the highest ever scoring sessions at European CME Forum where US pharma leaders presented examples of the kinds of programmes we in Europe could benefit. Maureen Doyle Scharff (Pfizer) will lead a group from US pharma, to bring a session specifically addressing how to measuring outcomes in CME programmes, using simple and effective techniques, once again drawing on best practice examples from the US that we can employ in Europe.
European showcase
But it won’t all be just US examples! We will also see examples of CME programmes supported by pharma in Europe. Eva Thalmann (Janssen Cilag) and Rosemary Milne (GlaxoSmithKline) will lead the presentation of several examples of European programmes, running through the benefits and challenges for pharma to support CME programmes in Europe.
CME Workshop
Another very high scoring session from last year was the interactive workshop looking at real life experiences of European CME.
Delegates will work their way in groups through actual examples of programmes developed in Europe being guided through the various practical, regulatory and operational challenges faced by providers, supporters and accreditors in Europe.
Question Time
Robin Stevenson (Editor-in-Chief, JECME) will guide questions from the audience challenging a distinguished panel of experts from across the European CME spectrum.
Medical society session
How do European medical societies view CME? What are their memberships expecting? What do they value most from CME? The role of medical societies in the provision of CME is increasing and becoming more sophisticated as they provide an ever more intricate offering to their members. We will hear from a selection of medical societies and how they see the future of CME in Europe as they identify and address the educational needs of their members.
CME Unsession
Lawrence Sherman (Prova Education) will lead an interactive conclusion to the proceedings working through any final questions - not just from the delegates in the room, but others from across the social media sphere. He will direct final engagements with the faculty and delegates, and ensure that no-one is left with any CME-related questions unanswered.
