Applicants who wish to submit their programme for accreditation should:
- Fill out a new program application form available here.
- contact their UEMS PRM National Manager or National Delegate, since their recommendation is required to proceed further. Unfortunately applications for accreditation cannot be considered without formal validation by the National PRM society.
Applicants are then invited to present their application in person at the next available CAC committee workshop. These UEMS CAC workshops normally occur in either March or September each year.
Next, the applicants are requested to fill a more detailed, Program Description Form, to be submitted to two or more reviewers for further analysis and comments. Reviewers are invited to complete their review with one month. Reviewers should advise the CAC Chair if there is likely to be a delay.
The reviewed application is then returned to the applicant for revision as needed. After the applicant makes any requested revisions, the final documents are circulated to CAC committee members and tabled for discussion at the next CAC workshop. Any additional comments are addressed before final validation by the Clinical Affairs Committee.
The applicant can expect to receive comments about his submission within approximately 2 months. The final decision on accreditation will be validated during the UEMS PRM General Assembly meetings which take place twice a year. The accreditation decision will be forwarded to the candidate after the UEMS General Assembly.
Please note: The reviewing process aims to help each author to refine and improve his/her application document. The experience of the UEMS CAC is that authors may need guidance about the criteria for accreditation acceptance and how to highlight the strengths of the programme. The CAC aim is to assist applicants from member countries enhance the scientific quality of PRM Programmes of Care in their country.
