PROGRAMME AND PRESENTATIONS:

Session 2: Setting standards in CME
As European CME evolves and becomes increasingly important to European doctors – becoming mandatory in more countries and more closely monitored in others – each stakeholder group in Europe is looking closer at the rules of engagement. Edwin Borman led this session with an overview of the pressing issues being considered by the CME accreditation bodies. The Good CME Practice Group – a group of leading European CME Providers – presented details of what they consider to be the quality standards that providers in Europe should follow. Also the viewpoint from the pharmaceutical industry and the challenges they face when supporting CME in Europe. Should pharma be adopting US rules globally? Or will local country implementation suffice when it comes to being seen as responsible partners in European CME in a transparent and credible way that
satisfies all the required standards, from the healthcare professionals’ perspective, regulatory and legal requirements including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (PCPA).
