DAY 1 - THURSDAY 10 NOVEMBER 2011
7.30-8.30 Registration open
8.30-8.45 Meeting start: welcome address
Eugene Pozniak, Programme Director, European CME Forum
8.45-10.00 Session 1: Approaching an educational activity
Chair: Jonas Nordquist, Director, Medical Case Centre, Karolinska Institute.
Jonas will guide us through some key educational principles, using this meeting as an example. He will help with techniques to identify our own educational needs and guide us as to how to get the most from the two days.
10.30-12.00 Session 2: The four core principles of good CME practice
Chair: Jacqui Thornton, Independent healthcare consultant
Onno Kaagman, CEO & Managing Director, MEDCON International
Barbara Macelloni, Medical Education Director, IntraMed International
Alisa Pearlstone, Director of Medical Education, PCM Scientific
Madeleine Schaffer, CEO, EIMSED
The Good CME Practice Group has completed their consultation process and have finalised their practical guidelines on how education providers should engage in CME. The four core principles address questions such as:
- What does an appropriate educational activity look like?
- How can one ensure that it is balanced?
- How does one achieve transparency in practice?
- Can educational programmes be shown to be effective?
This is the first of two sessions that Jacqui will Chair for us. As an independent expert chair Jacqui, with the help of members of the Good CME Practice group, will help us to navigate the questions and get to the crux of the issues at hand.
13.30-15.00 Session 3: [How] can CME change clinical practice?
Chair: Éamann Breatnach, Chair, Education Committee; Chair, EDiR Subcommittee, European Society of Radiology.
Miklos Udvardy, Chair CME Committee European Hematology Association,
Thomas Kellner, Managing Partner, AXDEV Europe
Helmut Madersbacher, Chairman EU-ACME Committee
Is it possible for a CME activity to effect a change on clinical practice? Can it indeed help doctors adhere to Guidelines? Is there a link? Is there a role for CME when it comes to looking at changing clinical practice? We will hear from individuals who have been examining these questions in detail and will assess the role CME has to play.
15.30-17.00 Session 4: Aligning regulations for compliant CME
Chair: Jacqui Thornton, Independent healthcare consultant
Edwin Borman, Chair, UEMS-EACCME CME Taskforce,
Reinhard Griebenow, Chair, European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology - EBAC
Marie-Claire Pickaert, Deputy Director General, European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations – EFPIA
Eva Thalmann, EMEA External Scientific Relations Director, Johnson & Johnson
We are now entering a phase of CME development in Europe where there is an expectation that the pharmaceutical industry supports CME, even if their involvement is not as significant as in the US. But what should their role be? Should they be selecting the faculty, or driving the content development? Clearly not. But where are the rules to show them the way to support CME activities? The pharmaceutical industry is now needing to follow ever stricter transparency and Corporate Integrity rules, with some very stiff penalties in the event of non-compliance or breech. But who is guiding them when it comes to supporting CME in Europe? It is clearly a problem and this session will examine how the different groups can work together for compliant CME - from all stakeholders.
17.30 Day 1 Close followed by Evening Networking Reception

8.00-8.30: Review of Day 1

Maureen Doyle-Scharf, Senior Director, Team Lead, Medical Education Group, Pfizer
Laura Muttini, Associate Director, Professional Education and Patient Support, Abbott
There is much discussion about best CME practices from the US and lessons that Europeans should be learning. But do you know what are they? What are the mistakes they have made that we should be listening to? Maureen and Laura will present a series of CME case studies from the US, highlighting practical lessons that we can learn for the European setting.
13.30-15.00 Session 7: Learning about learning
Jonas Nordquist, Director, Medical Case Centre, Karolinska Institute
What is important when planning an educational activity? How is it possible to engage a group of learners already experts in their field? Jonas will guides us through the relevant education principles that can be applied in practice in CME programming, how to identify what is important and what techniques work in reality.
