The Faculty keeps an account of fellow's attendance at meetings run by the Faculty.
Dr Ronan McDermott (rmcdermott@stjames.ie) is chairman of the CME Committee.
We hope to be in a position to issue certificates to each attendee recording their running toal for the academic year. We also hope to be in a position to register CME hours from appropriate meeting not run by the Faculty if CME certificates are submitted [RSNA, ARRS, RCR, ECR, etc.].
Ultimately Fellows are responsible for recording their own credit hours, and it is stressed that if people wish to obtain CME credits from the Faculty that they must register for Faculty meeting with Jennifer O'Brien, or their attendance cannot be recorded. To access CPD please click HERE
