Continuing Professional Development /Continuing Medical Education

COMPASS Therapeutic Notes are circulated to GPs, nurses, pharmacists and others in Northern Ireland. Each issue is compiled following the review of approximately 250 papers, journal articles, guidelines and standards documents. They are written in question and answer format, with summary points and recommendations on each topic. They reflect local, national and international guidelines and standards on current best clinical practice. Each issue is reviewed and updated every three years.

Each issue of the Therapeutic Notes is accompanied by a set of assessment questions. These can contribute 2-3 hours towards your CPD/CME requirements. Submit your completed MCQs to the appropriate address (see MCQ form). Assessment forms for each topic can be submitted in any order and at any time. 70% is the pass mark.
