patients with neurological conditions.
 Create a balanced and unbiased representation of the benefits, risks, appropriateness of all products related to
patient care.
 Create a current, evidence-based, learning activity to maintain, develop or increase knowledge, skills, and the
competency of physicians/ surgeons on the advances of a disease within a specialty/ subspecialty.
 Organize scientific and logistical planning for the symposium which is conducted in a professional and ethical
manner based on shared health values and mutual respect.
 Provide variety in co-developed learning activities by inviting 2 or more speakers in addition to the moderator/ chair.
 Ensure the learning activity includes, but is not limited to, the following principles of adult learning:
o Target Audience is comprised of neurologists and/or neurosurgeons, and this audience is represented
within the planning committee.

CNSF Video, Audio and Photo Policy of Congress Events for Co-Developed Symposia
as of May 28, 2013
Purpose
The Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation (CNSF) on behalf of its four Societies8 recognizes the value of audio and/or
video records of selected learning activities within the CNSF Annual Congress. The purpose is to extend accredited and
unaccredited learning activities for Canadian Neurologists and Neurosurgeons to assist in their continuing professional
development.
Creation of an audio/video record is secondary to the purpose of the learning activity being recorded. The fact and process of
recording should be planned so there is minimal impact on the nature of the conference or event.
If a verbatim recording is being made (for whatever purpose), that fact must be known to all involved, and permission must be
obtained in advance. The CNSF must receive copies of permissions and release forms, in addition to verbiage used to inform
Congress delegates that the learning activity will be recorded and for what purposes it will be used.
Personal rights to privacy must be maintained, and conversational spontaneity should be preserved to the largest extent
possible.
Policy
Conditions
Any recording of a learning activity within the CNSF Annual Congress is subject to the following conditions:
 The CNSF Secretariat Office must be provided with a detailed record of how the audio or video (audio/video) will be
used by December 1st of the year preceeding the Congress.
 All audio or video records of sessions within the CNSF Congress are made at the discretion of the Planning Committee
Chair(s) and the CNSF Professional Development Committee (PDC) Representative.
 Speakers, Moderators, Chairs, and others speaking or assisting in the presentation, and being recorded, must agree to
be video-taped and sign a release to be provided to the Professional Development Coordinator
Canadian Neurological Society (CNS), Canadian Association of Child Neurology (CACN), Canadian Neurosurgical Society (CNSS), Canadian Society of Clinical Neurophysiologists
(CSCN).
