Fellowship in Immediate Medical Care

New Regulations for the FIMC and for Faculty Accreditation have now been released.

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.

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. Detailed regulations are on the RCSEd website.

All of the Faculty Examinations are administered by RCSEd's Exams Team - regulations are available from the College website at the links below. Exam enquiries can be directed to the Exam's Team at: fphc.exams@rcsed.ac.uk
