CME/CNE Activities

South Link Health unilaterally withdrew from the contract for the provision of these services in July 2008. The RCPHO Board decided to fund the increased cost of these important education activities from equity. The RCPHO is delighted that the previous facilitators have accepted contracts with RCPHO for continuation of essentially the same services as previously until 30.6.2009. A review of the service provision will be held before that date to plan the way forward.
