UMC-CME

Doctors are legally obliged to maintain their professional competence by enrolling in professional competence schemes and following requirements set by the Medical Council.  Most doctors previously engaged in continuous professional development, however this new system creates a formal process of lifelong learning which highlights doctors’ dedication to developing their skills throughout their professional lives.

Schemes will be operated by UMC for the development  of medical services to drive good professional practice which is centered on patient safety and the quality of patient care.  The activities which doctors will engage in will be straightforward and practice based.

ACTIVITIES INCLUDE

• Maintenance of Knowledge and Skills (for example,
attending professional meetings, seminars and
medically related education courses and so on)
• Practice Evaluation and Development activities (for
example, chart reviews, case presentations, peer
review groups, and so on)
• Personal learning activities (for example, reading
medical publications)
• Research and teaching
• Completion of a clinical skills checklist to see how
the care the doctor provides compares with
standards with a view to improving quality.
