Independent Medical Education
Putting science into practice
Liberum IME is an independent medical education company that provides bespoke, innovative programmes based on the core principles of good CME practice in conjunction with expert faculty.
About us
As innovators in the rapidly evolving medical education landscape, Liberum IME continually finds creative solutions to deliver globally relevant science in the context of local practice.
Our evidence-based education is tailored to the specific needs of healthcare professional audiences, inspiring self-reflection to drive measurable practice change and improve patient care.
We are dedicated to sharing best practice through international collaboration, allowing healthcare professionals worldwide to put science into practice.
Our approach
We develop education centred around the principles of good CME practice
Appropriate education
Built on robust needs assessments that identify clinical practice gaps and educational needs, our bespoke programmes have clear learning objectives relevant to HCP practice.
Balance
We work with expert faculty to ensure our educational content is evidence-based, free of bias and meets the needs of learners.
Transparency
We commit to full transparency, including disclosure of financial support received to support our programmes, and relevant disclosures of all faculty and staff involved in the development of the scientific content.
Effectiveness
We build programmes with outcomes in mind to ensure we can measure and adapt to learner knowledge, competence and ultimately performance in clinical practice.
We ensure education is locally relevant, compliant and changes practice
Localisation
Every country faces different guidelines, healthcare systems and resource availability. Although education developed at a global level can offer general information, we adapt content to address needs on a country-specific level.
Steering committee
Through our expert faculty offering global representation, we ensure all our content reflects the latest guidelines and cutting-edge evidence, and is relevant to real-world clinical practice.
Accreditation
We utilise a combination of local and international organisations to accredit our education, awarding credits that are applicable for the end user. Accreditation ensures our programmes are recognised by our audience as content trusted to be fair, balanced and of high quality.
Medical societies
We work in partnership with international medical societies to produce collaborative, educational programmes that truly meet clinical needs. Through local societies we can maximise the range and impact of education.
Practice change
We drive measurable change in clinical practice and support improvements in patient care.

Our senior team includes thought leaders at the forefront of innovation in CME.
