PRM Section and Board of UEMS

Welcome to the new website of the UEMS PRM Section !

This is the new official website of the UEMS PRM Section and Board. You will find here all updated information about the activities of the three Committees which implement the Action Plan published in February 2009 :

European Board of PRM: Education (initial teaching and training, CME/CPD, accreditation of European PRM teaching and training events). President : Pr Franco Franchignoni (Italy).
Clinical Affairs Committee: Quality of Care, based on the concept of PRM Programmes of Care. Chairman : Dr Georges de Korvin (France).
Professional Practice: Fields of Competence. Chairman : Pr Christoph Gutenbrunner (Germany).

On behalf of Prof. Alain Delarque, President of the UEMS PRM Section and of Prof. Franco Franchignoni, President of the European PRM Board, we thank you for your interest in European PRM Activities. PRM Specialists are all invited to bring their contribution and to apply to the European PRM Board Certification (by examination or by equivalence). This is the first step before applying for the certification as a Trainer or for a Training Centre.

PRM Trainees will take profit from free or low cost registration in some PRM Congresses and European training courses. All Board certified specialists will also benefit from cut off subscription to several European Journals.

European Board Certified Specialists can also participate in the European Accreditation of PRM Programmes of Care, which is organized by the Clinical Affairs Committee. This will contribute to a full description of PRM daily practice and to the promotion of Quality of Care all over Europe.

Special offer for Recertification of Board Fellows

We are announcing a special offer to all Board Certified colleagues whose Certification had already expired. To all who apply for Recertification until December 31^st 2010, and if the decision of the Jury is positive, the next Recertification period shall be for 10 years from the time of decision on. This is a special offer, because - as you probably know - the rules claim that the Recertification period normally starts from the expiry of the last Certification period. This exception of the rule will enable you to renew your Board Certificate for the next 10 years (even if your Certificate had expired some time ago), and to immediately become “Senior Fellow of the European Board of PRM”. Conversely, your diploma expires and you loose the above special benefits and denomination.

To apply for Board Recertification, you have only to send to the National Manager of your country a CPD/CME curriculum of the five past years, and to our Treasurer the registration form and a proof of payment of the fees of 100 euros
