12th European CME Forum (#12ECF) – Manchester

Promoting a culture of learning

In November 2019 about 100 people gathered in our home town, on the campus of the University of Manchester, for a highly discursive and engaging meeting. The theme this year was “Promoting a culture of learning”, building on messages from our recent meetings that CME should focus on high quality, relevant and effective learning rather than the acquisition of certificates.

 

Wednesday 6th – Friday 8th November 2019

The theme this year was “Promoting a culture of learning”.

The topic was approached from three perspectives:

• Micro-practice: CME from the perspective of the learner
• Meso-practice: collaborations, partnerships and interprofessional approaches in CME-CPD
• Macro-practice: regulatory, compliance, government and population considerations.

We borrowed this micro-meso-macro approach from the social sciences, but it is an interesting analytical approach we are increasingly seeing in our own areas of interest, from Patient Reported Outcomes to Quality Improvement programmes. After each of the breakout workshop sessions there was a moderated Reflection session in the main plenary room, where the outcomes of each of the workshops were presented and explored further as a group.
