Continuing Medical Education Continuing Professional Development (CME-CPD)

An application has been made to the UEMS EACCME® for CME accreditation of this event.

Continuing Medical Education Continuing Professional Development (CME-CPD)

This is your opportunity to catch up on a tailored programme of the latest scientific updates in different dermatology topics, such as acne, pigmentary disorders, atopic dermatitis, paediatric dermatology and more. The symposium will also have a special focus on psoriasis and keratinocytic skin cancer, exploring all their sub-topics in depth. Last but not least, clinical case discussions on dermoscopy and challenging cases will allow a more interactive participation by the audience.

CME Credits

Each medical specialist can claim only those hours of credit actually spent in the educational activity (as recorded by the scanning process).

Here below please find the breakdown of credits per day:

Wednesday, 11 October 7 credits
Thursday, 12 October 7 credits
Friday, 13 October 6 credits
Saturday, 14 October 7 credits

The accreditation system is based on 1 ECMEC per hour.

No credits will be guaranteed by the EADV to delegates participating in sessions organised by industry and subspecialty societies.

Procedure to gain your credits

The EADV offers individual CME-CPD participation through the scanning of the bar code (or access the session online, live or on-demand) and the speaker/session evaluation that will be available for a period of one month after the end of the Symposium (until 18 June 2024).

Information on the process to convert EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be found at https://edhub.ama-assn.org/pages/applications.

Live educational activities, occurring outside of Canada, recognised by the UEMS-EACCME® for ECMEC®s are deemed to be Accredited Group Learning Activities (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL DEFINITION

Carefully read the below description to make sure you/your delegates are compliant with Malta’s regulations.

EADV Members are not designated as Healthcare Professionals by default

Please, define the correct status (HCP or Non-HCP) during the registration process.

Definition

According to the European Union Directive 2001/83 /EC (and amended version 2010/84/EU), the promotion of prescription only medicines should be directed solely at Healthcare Professionals or any person who is authorised to prescribe or handle them.

As a multidisciplinary audience will be attending the EADV Symposium, the delegates must  indicate if they are Healthcare Professionals (HCP) or Non-Healthcare Professionals (Non-HCP) to ensure compliance with these regulations.

Access to the different areas and sessions of the Symposium depends on the status as Healthcare Professional or as Non-Healthcare Professional. 

The Pharmaceutical Research Based Industry Malta Association (2014) defines HCP as:

Any member of the medical, dental, pharmacy or nursing professions or any other person who in the course of his or her professional activities may prescribe, purchase, supply or administer a medicinal product. “

Industry sessions and advertising

Sections of the code also relevant to a congress held in Malta:

Any such promotional material (excluding promotional aids) is accompanied by a suitable statement indicating countries in which the product is registered and makes clear that the product or use is not registered locally, and any such promotional material which refers to the prescribing information (indications, warnings etc.) authorized in a country or countries where the medicinal product is registered should be accompanied by an explanatory statement indicating that registration conditions differ internationally.

Satellite Symposia presenting data on the development, research or other issues related to prescription medicine can be restricted to Healthcare Professionals and Industry Participants only upon indication provided by the Industry Session Organizer. All promotional materials and marketing aids related to these industry sessions should be strictly limited to HCPs only.

Industry Session organisers could limit participation to certain representative groups independently from the EADV recommendations if deemed imperative to the achievement of the intended purpose of the Industry session. The organising company reserves the right to refuse single categories, in particular if not adequately related to the objective and purpose of the session.

The industry session organizer is responsible for the compliance of the session.

Other categories

STUDENTS are NOT considered as Healthcare Professionals under the current guidelines and will be automatically classified as NON-HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.

PATIENT ASSOCIATION REPRESENTATIVES must indicate whether they are Healthcare Professionals or not at registration.
