What is the added value of ECPhA accreditation?
All applications submitted to the ECPhA for accreditation are reviewed according to very high-quality criteria and by pharmacists and technicians active in the field.
Accreditations done by ECPHA therefore means that the CME/CPD activity provided is of high scientific value, is free of commercial bias and promotes active adult learning. This is of paramount importance to pharmacists who need to report to their National Accreditation Authorities on their CME/CPD activity over a certain period of time, and this even more now that many national systems are (becoming) mandatory and not voluntary.
As all ECPhA accredited events are published on the ECPhA platform, participants can easily find an ECPhA accredited event to attend according to their field of interest. By attending an ECPhA accredited event, they will be able to obtain ECPhA credits. By handing in their ECPHA certificate to their National Accreditation Authority with whom ECPhA has signed agreements, their credits will automatically be recognised and converted into national credits.
