About CME
Mission Statement
"To provide medical professionals the highest quality
of continuing medical education anywhere in the world."
What is CME?
Continuing Medical Education is targeted at healthcare professionals to update and enhance their medical knowledge so they can pass on the best advice to their patients and carry out their job to the best of their abilities. CME is not used for finding out what you do not know, nor at failing you as a professional. CME updates your medical knowledge and makes you better informed for the decisions you need to make while at work. Many healthcare professionals are too busy to travel to CME courses or sometimes there are simply not enough CME courses for them to attend.
The IIRCME web site is a complete healthcare resource for the modern day professional and designed to fit in with the busy lifestyle of a healthcare professional. IIRCME.com offers accredited CME courses, often needed to renew medical licenses. The courses have been specifically chosen to give a good diversity of therapeutic areas and new courses will be posted every couple of months. ... READ MORE >>

UED With IT's Partners
Brief history of higher education in Sunderland
Sunderland has been an important centre for education since 674 AD, when Benedict Biscop built St Peter's Church and monastery. Among its early students was a seven-year-old boy who became known to history as The Venerable Bede, a renowned scholar and teacher.
The broad sweep of river bank surrounding the ancient church of St Peter 's is now the setting for the Partner 's award-winning Sir Tom Cowie Campus at St Peter's. The first stained glass ever made in England was created for St Peter's Church and the modern site is, appropriately, home to the National Glass Centre – a prestigious building in which the University's glass and ceramics teaching and research are based.
St Peter's Church was the site of the greatest scriptorium north of the Alps, and has been described as the Oxford of its day. The oldest existing Latin version of the Bible - the Codex Amiantinus - was written at St Peter's Church, close to the University's £9m state-of-the-art Media Centre, which was launched in 2004.
The Principal, Mr Branford, was Sunderland's Director of Higher Education and was also responsible for the School of Art and the new Bede Collegiate School . From the start, the intention was to develop capacity and quality in order to achieve University College status.
The dynamic new College was the first in England to introduce the ‘sandwich course' – enabling engineering apprentices to gain higher qualifications whilst working. By 1908, 25 engineering firms were involved in the scheme. The concept of educational progression, familiar nowadays, was already in place by 1910, when evening classes were re-structured to allow specialist study after two preliminary years.
The first great surge of expansion took place between 1919 and 1939. The Galen Building was extended between 1922 and 1930, supported by both private and public funding. In 1939, the industrialist Sir John Priestman opened the Priestman Library, with room for 10,000 books.
The building was also home to the departments of mathematics and mining. In 1921-22, departments of naval architecture and pharmacy were introduced. The pharmacy department began as a single bench in the chemistry department, but grew to become the largest in the country. The department's pioneer was a remarkable scientist, Miss Hope CM Winch. Growth in quality was soon reflected in affiliation to the University of Durham in 1930. The London University BSc pharmacy was introduced in the same year and the College was recognised by London University as a centre for its Beng (Bachelor of Engineering) in 1934.
During the Second World War, the College ran special courses for the armed forces and the Ministry of Labour. By 1946, the College had 59 full-time staff, 175 part-time assistants, 840 full and part-time students and 1,485 evening class students. New course development in the post-war period included the department of housecrafts, recognition of the ‘…modern woman's realisation that she must have appropriate training if she is to play her part more effectively in her chosen trade, profession or in the home…'
The late 1950s saw further expansion as the College sought the status of College of Advanced Technology . As the Technical College concentrated on advanced teaching, the two local colleges of further education took over most of the non-advanced work. The College was the first educational centre in the region to install a digital computer. This hi-tech innovation required a crane to haul it through the roof of the building in which it was housed – a far cry from today's laptops and palmtops.
In 1959, an ambitious building programme began, culminating in the opening of a new complex of buildings on Chester Road by HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1964.
These developments meant that Sunderland's Technical College was the first in the region to offer residential accommodation – at £5 per week half board. By then there were 1,750 full and part-time students, and the College was the largest of 25 regional colleges. In the mid-1960s, Sunderland had the largest Norwegian student body outside Norway itself, some 260 students - many of them taking marine engineering.
Sunderland Polytechnic was created on January 1, 1969 , with a new department of education, for teacher training, established in the same year. The Polytechnic was among the first three of the 30 such national institutions, which were set up to concentrate on professional and vocational courses and develop part-time provision.
The Polytechnic brought together the Technical College with two other institutions which had played a significant role in the town - the School of Art and, later, Sunderland Teacher Training College .
The School of Art had been established in 1901 and classes were run in the Town Hall. As well as a fine art curriculum, it also ran classes in painting and decorating, stone and wood carving, photography, millinery and dressmaking. The industrial classes grew rapidly as employers paid fees for many of the students. In 1934, the College of Arts and Crafts moved to new accommodation in Ashburne House, donated by TW Backhouse. 
By 1960 there were more than 1,000 students and, in 1963, the re-designated College of Art began to offer a degree-equivalent diploma in art and design and fine art. In 1982, Sunderland established the UK 's first degree course in glass design and it remains a leading European centre for glass design and research.
The Teacher Training College had opened in 1908, with 70 students, male and female, and tuition fees of £10 per annum. Staff included a sergeant major to teach ‘Swedish drill'. In 1922, students moved into Langham Tower in Ryhope Road , bought by the Corporation for £8,000. At the same time the College became ‘women only' and remained that way until 1959. Under its last principal, Mr H Armstrong James, the Teacher Training College reached its zenith with 820 students and 80 staff.
By 1968, the Technical College ran the first interdisciplinary undergraduate degree programme outside the university sector, a BSc materials science. In 1973, it mounted the first part-time, in-service BEd (Bachelor of Education) in the country. By 1980, the student body had leapt to 2,294 full-time and sandwich students and 1,446 part-time students.
In 1990, Dr Anne Wright was appointed Rector at Sunderland . She then became one of the first female university Vice-Chancellors when the Polytechnic gained university status in 1992. In the same year, HM The Queen granted Sunderland city status to mark the 40th anniversary of her accession to the throne.
In 1993, HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh visited Sunderland and the University to celebrate. Her Majesty met University staff and saw plans for the flagship St Peter's Campus development, which has made a significant contribution to Sunderland 's regeneration.
In September 2002 the campus was renamed the Sir Tom Cowie Campus at St Peter's, in honour of the Sunderland businessman who is one of the University's most loyal supporters and in celebration of Sir Tom's 80th birthday. The £50m campus is now home to about half of the University's total student population of well over 14,000. Sunderland Business School opened here in 1994 and the spectacular David Goldman Informatics Centre followed two years later. In March 2004 the £9m Media Centre was launched by Minister for the Arts (now University Pro Vice-Chancellor) Baroness Estelle Morris. The Sir Tom Cowie Campus at St Peter's plays a significant community and regional role. The 400-seat Sir Tom Cowie Lecture Theatre has hosted international conferences and community musical concerts as well as student lectures; and the new Media Centre's state-of-the-art 200 seater cinema recently played host to a major audio-visual festival.
In 1998, the Oscar-winning film producer David (now Lord) Puttnam became the University's first Chancellor. Lord Puttnam stepped down after almost a decade as an outstanding ambassador for the University on Friday, July 13, 2007 , in an emotional ceremony at the Stadium of Light. READ MORE >>
