The Fellowship in Immediate Medical Care (FIMC) is the highest level of formal qualification available for pre-hospital practitioners. It has been extensively re-designed to meet the needs of the new medical sub-specialty of Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine and the wider range of established and experienced pre-hospital practitioners.
In July 2016, College Council approved Multi Professional Access to the FIMC. Therefore, there are two parallel sets of FIMC eligibility requirements: one for trainees completing approved sub-specialty training programmes in Pre-hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) and one for doctors, nurses and paramedics who have undertaken alternative forms of pre-hospital care training.
Multiple resources including detailed regulations, past questions and Sandpiper Bag guidance are available on the FIMC Exam page, RCSEd website.
All Faculty Examinations are administered by RCSEd's Exams Team. Exam enquiries can be directed to the team via email fphc.exams@rcsed.ac.uk
