Welcome to EAP Learning, a new and exciting venture!
Although developed primarily for candidates sitting the EBP exam, we hope that as it grows it will prove of value to all trainees and senior paediatricians.
EAP Learning is a virtual classroom. Available on mobile, tablet or laptop, the free app links to material that will include case studies, podcasts, videos and more, and will cover all aspects of paediatrics.
At present we are just starting – so anyone downloading the app has access to several FREE case studies, and an introduction to the principles of the course. As new modules are developed, they will appear below, and anyone will have the ability to purchase.
Neurology, Neonatology & Surgery
12 cases in Neurology /Neonatology / Surgery with MCQs, case explanations and references
Respiratory, Oncology & ID
12 cases in Respiratory, Oncology & ID MCQs, case explanations and references
General Paediatrics II
12 new cases in General Paediatrics with MCQs, case explanations and references
Diseases of the Neonate
6 cases in diseases of the Neonate, with MCQs, case explanations and references
EAP Learning lets you access your interactive learning resources wherever you are. Use case studies to help you prepare for EAP exams and learn in a way that suits you, keeping track of your progress across multiple devices.
Once logged in, you will be able to download your resources and start learning straight away.
New ways to test high-risk medical devices.
Manufacturers of medical devices need to test their products before being allowed to market them. Specifically, they require clinical data showing their medical device is safe and efficient. In this context, the EU-funded CORE-MD project will translate expert scientific and clinical evidence on study designs for evaluating high-risk medical devices into advice for EU regulators. The project will propose how new trial designs can contribute and suggest ways to aggregate real-world data from medical device registries.
It will also conduct multidisciplinary workshops to propose a hierarchy of levels of evidence from clinical investigations, as well as educational and training objectives for all stakeholders, to build expertise in regulatory science in Europe. CORE–MD will translate expert scientific and clinical evidence on study designs for evaluating high-risk medical devices into advice for EU regulators, to achieve an appropriate balance between innovation, safety, and effectiveness. A unique collaboration between medical associations, regulatory agencies, notified bodies, academic institutions, patients’ groups, and health technology assessment agencies, will systematically review methodologies for the clinical investigation of high-risk medical devices, recommend how new trial designs can contribute, and advise on methods for aggregating real-world data from medical device registries with experience from clinical practice The consortium is led by the European Society of Cardiology and the European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, and involves all 33 specialist medical associations that are members of the Biomedical Alliance in Europe.
