News (January 2010): Towards a harmonised CME system in Europe:
Information on the September 2009 ACOE/ESO CME workshop available here 

Why CME ?

CME (continuing medical education) can be defined as educational activities which serve to maintain, develop and increase the knowledge, skills and professional performance that physicians and allied health professionals use to provide services for patients, the public or the profession.

Why an accreditation Council of Oncology in Europe (ACOE) ?

Europe is moving away from a voluntary perspective on continuing professional development, towards a more mandatory system.

ACOE is the unique European multidisciplinary accreditation body in oncology. ACOE accreditation offers participants of CME events in oncology a guarantee of a high quality and unbiaised educational programme.
