In order to be considered a TPPT, the practical sessions must in all cases represent more than 50% of the full programme and hands-on sessions must represent at least one-third of the full programme. These requirements must be clearly indicated in the TPPT programme. As from January 1st 2024, sponsoring members will need to ensure that the event complies with the requirements of a TPPT. The CVS assessment will no longer verify that the scientific programme follows the requirements of the TPPT. The assessment will focus on the CVS criteria, including the appropriate venue for TPPT (typically in a clinical environment or in places suitable for (or set up to) simulating medical procedures).
