Core resource

The core resources provide a complete introduction and guide to the ELN projects on CML and contain a tailored pack of agreed content for hematologists.
Contents include:

The core resources will be designed in 2007 and updated each year.

Newsletter

The regular already existing ELN newsletter targeting ELN members and the wider hematologist community will be extended by one/two pages focused specifically on CML and items related to the four subprojects of the alliance (e.g. reports that include all relevant information from the subprojects, summary of the practical and technical information, relevant website addresses, summaries of CML data presented at recent hematology meetings, highlights of recent key CML publications). The newsletter will be published half-yearly.

Dedicated portal website

A dedicated EUTOS for CML website has been established from the existing ELN website with links to other sites of interest such as the Novartis website. This portal website is subdivided into separate areas for each of the four EUTOS for CML subprojects. The area of the site dedicated to the Spread of Excellence is a repository for the core resource and supplements the print and meeting-related communications. The portal website was opened in 2008 and the content is updated continuously.

Exhibition booth

Exhibition booths at key congresses provide an opportunity to continue raising the profile of the EUTOS for CML project amongst the healthcare community. They provide a place for:

Key international congresses included the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), the Annual Meeting of the European Haematology Association (EHA) and the Annual Meeting of the German Society of Hematology and Oncology (DGHO).

Expert steering group with forum meetings to roll-out to countries

Build a dynamic and well-respected global advocacy steering group to disseminate consistent key messages to the wider community:

Scientific and educational meetings

a) One to three meetings per year at selected key congresses and meetings together with the ELN will be organized. Content will focus on scientific questions being addressed by the four subprojects.
b) A preceptorship program offering high-level educational experience to a small group of physicians on country-level together with local KOLs and Novartis offices will be established with the following objectives:

A proposed meeting in 2007 will be Budapest 2007 (organized by the alliance) Meetings 2008 are:

Preceptor ship programmers have to be determined on national levels. For Germany a program could be organized in June 2008 (with Novartis, Germany) in conjunction with the German CML Study Group meeting.

Publication plan specific to ELN-related projects

The objective is to publish scientific results by the four subprojects and editorials in high impact journals. This cannot be determined in detail due to uncontrolled influence.
