EURACT CME/CPD Committee Workshop: Continuing Profesional Development, accreditation shemes and re-licencing in European Countries?

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the longest and an interesting part of the continuum of medical education. In many countries CPD is combined with accreditation and re-licensing procedures. The purpose of the process is to assure the best possible practices for public health: that when a citizen (healthy or not) visits a general practitioner, it is assured they he will have access and get up-to-date care. The main objective of the workshop is to explore and disseminate information about the situation about CPD, accreditation, licensing and re-licensing procedures in European countries. The methods of work will be that of exploring experiences in small groups. The following questions are expected to be discussed: Accreditation and re-licensing procedures in use? Are CPD and re-licensing related? How educational needs are fulfilled within the re-licensing procedures? How to guarantee learning and change in performance instead of picking up the points? What is a role of peers? What is a role of governmental and university instances? How to collect evidence? Who should be responsible? Who should and could finance the procedure? How often it should be done? What are the quality criteria? What, if an individual GP fails to meet the standards? A composition of the workshop: 1.
