Improving knowledge and changing behaviour
Within a continuously changing healthcare environment, it is vitally important for healthcare professionals to stay up-to-date with the fast-paced developments in medical science. Independent Medical Education plays a critical role in supporting physicians, healthcare authorities and other major players to stay current.
There is a growing requirement for Independent Medical Education, with a focus on high-quality, independent medical education programmes. Evidence shows that high-quality Independent Medical Education improves clinical practice and outcomes1.

The COR2ED team brings a depth of pharmaceutical industry expertise and a breadth of understanding that enables each medical education programme to unlock the latest scientific insights for the benefit of patients globally.
COR2ED is a company that cares about the environment. We believe that even the smallest of changes to how we work and behave can have a big impact on our environment and the future of our precious planet for generations to come. We are proud supporters of reforestaction.com.
Our team develops a wide range of educational programmes with varying topics and content across a spectrum of channels and formats. In COR2ED we apply a tailored approach for all programmes; meeting the needs of the Experts, the Audience and the Supporters.
We collaborate and partner with respected scientific committees to ensure that all programmes meet the criteria for accreditation.
How we work
Every Medical Education Programme aims to translate the latest advances in scientific understanding into clinical practice. This leads to highly effective and engaging programmes.
At COR2ED we adhere to and are compliant with all European regulations for Independent Medical Education. The Scientific Director and/or Organising Committee leading the programme has sole responsibility for the programme and ensures that it addresses clear and pre-identified educational objectives, and presents an objective and scientifically balanced perspective.
The educational programmes are designed to positively reinforce existing good practice with a review of clinical guidelines, highlighting the evolution in scientific knowledge, and driving change in daily clinical practice as appropriate.
All our medical education programmes are tailored towards the audience. At COR2ED our thorough approach is extended to provide a comprehensive review of all programmes and we share this analysis with the supporter and Accrediting Organisations.
