Hi Margaret It was a while back but we have had courses CME accredited for doctors in the past (Cochrane, Aditus and critical appraisal). It involved completing a form from the NW Deanery (Dr McKinlay is the Director of GP Education, but presumably you'd be doing it for hospital doctors?) for each course, every time it was run. We may have had to pay a fee. They were always approved, but it was a pain to have to keep applying. The system may of courses have changed, as this was maybe 2-3 years ago. Best wishes Liz Liz Walton, Senior Research Officer East Lancashire Public Health Network 33, Eagle Street, Accrington, BB5 1LN 01254 356821 [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ________________________________ From: A list for health related libraries within the North West of England [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Halstead Margaret (RNL) NCAH NHS Trust Sent: 13 July 2006 12:55 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: CME points Has anyone got CME points for any of the courses they run? We were wondering about applying, particularly for the full-day Critical Appraisal courses we are running, but I wondered if anyone has already gone down this road?
