London, UK, February 1st, 2011: San Lucas Medical, LTD (SLM) announced today the launch of a new series of continuing medical education (CME)-accredited journals that will seek to change how medical education is developed and provided to their 210,000-plus reader database of European healthcare providers.

By utilizing a collaborative/co-creative model with leading national and international medical centers, the journals will translate cutting-edge clinical research and data into practical know-how, ensuring that all content, curricula, and outcomes are developed and driven by those organizations. All education through the new series will provide evidenced-based measurable data on how such education impacts the clinical competencies and patient-related outcomes of healthcare providers.

Given the enormous amounts of new medical data made available daily, and the national and regional fragmentation of the medical education system and standards in Europe, the lack of access to credible and high quality clinical information has made it challenging for healthcare providers to deliver the appropriate care and outcomes to their patients.

“To date, medical education has been predominantly developed by for-profit third parties that possess remarkable operational skill-sets, but typically lack the medical expertise needed to effectively develop and implement such education, said Nahida Zaman, CEO of San Lucas Medical. “With this new co-creation model, we are now able to combine SLM’s excellent track record in journal publishing with the medical expertise, resources, and name recognition of leading medical centers of excellence around the world.”

The core value of the co-creation model is that it enables SLM to adapt to the everchanging informational needs of its audience by working with its collaborative partners to identify educational needs, create and continuously improve educational curricula, instantly disseminate information and measure outcomes through its distribution channel of more than 210,000 European readers in a 600,000-plus global database.

Added Ms. Zaman, “We invite all types healthcare organizations to partner with SLM in leveraging the co-creation model for the new journal series. The benefits are far-reaching, covering areas such as improved clinical competencies of healthcare providers, quality upto-date content, higher participation rates, lower production costs, and above all, better patient care and outcomes.”
