Clinical Updates

Clinical Updates are designed to take a current medical topic and explore the role and contribution of various specialties in its management. The framework for each update is flexible and open, allowing for a variety of topics and specialties to be included.


The target audience consists of general practitioners, specialist nurses, physicians and other healthcare professionals.

There are eight Clinical Updates in 2011-2012 each focusing on a specific topic. Each session is recorded and made available to Trainees, Members and Fellows of the College as streamed podcasts via the RCPI Online Medical Education Centre.
