We are proud to announce that the GPNI M.E. Clinical Update Webinar has now been formally CPD certified by The CPD Certification Service.

This is a significant milestone in strengthening the quality, credibility, and impact of this vital educational resource for healthcare professionals.

What this means
The 1-hour GPNI webinar, developed through collaboration between Hope 4 ME & Fibro Northern Ireland and General Practice Northern Ireland, now meets recognised Continuing Professional Development standards.

* Healthcare professionals can engage with the content knowing it is independently quality-assured
* Participation can contribute to professional appraisal and revalidation
* The webinar is further established as a trusted, evidence-based learning resource

About the webinar
This clinical update supports primary care teams in:

* Recognising and diagnosing M.E.
* Delivering safe, appropriate management
* Understanding the condition in line with NICE guideline NG206

It combines clinical expertise with lived experience, helping address long-standing gaps in knowledge and practice.

The webinar is already available to all GP surgeries in Northern Ireland, with access now extended more widely to healthcare professionals.

Why this matters
M.E. remains under-recognised, with many patients experiencing delays in diagnosis and unsafe or inappropriate advice.

By securing CPD certification, this resource:

* Raises the standard of professional education
* Supports safer, more informed clinical care
* Strengthens ongoing efforts to improve services and recognition
