OVERVIEW
|
The inaugural meeting of the Good CME Practice Group took place during the
Second Annual European CME Forum meeting in London, 18-19 November 2009,
where the overarching guiding principles were discussed by leading agencies
involved in European CME programme development, with input from members from
the CME and pharma communities.
European CME is developing under its own inertia, working to converging
standards and agreements: the CME bodies are working ever closer together, and
pharmaceutical industry supporters are now under regulatory pressure to align
themselves with CME in a positive way.
The aim of the Good CME Practice Group is to look specifically at how the
European education provider/agency community works in CME and to develop the
appropriate operating standards.
At the Spring meeting in London, May 2010, members of the gCMEp Group agreed to pursue the definition of the standards of Good CME Practice along
4 Core Principles:
Appropriate education
Educational programmes should address pre-identified educational needs.
Fair balance
Educational programmes should be fair balanced.
Transparency
Relevant relationships between individuals and organisations, sources of funding,
sources and generation of content, should be transparent.
Effectiveness
Programmes should be reviewed and evaluated for their effectiveness.
These principles will continue to be debated and the group will meet again in Berlin on 15 November 2010 and present their work at the 3rd Annual Meeting of the European CME Forum.
