Student supporters play a key role supporting the FPHC exams and it is a great opportunity to learn more about Pre-Hospital Care. Supporters will be given the opportunity to act as expert patients for the Objective Structured Practical Examinations (OSPEs). Roles will vary and the aim is to provide realistic portrayal of scenarios. The Fellowship in Immediate Medical Care (FIMC) examinations will consist of more complex scenarios and require students within the clinical years of their degree programme.
Accommodation is available in Edinburgh for student supporters who are not local to the area, and the FPHC provides up to £50 reimbursement towards travel expenses which can be claimed after the exams.
Please note, being a supporter on any of the FPHC examinations (currently DIMC, FIMC, DRTM and DUMC) prevents you from sitting the same examination for a minimum period of 3 years from your last involvement.
We welcome students from paramedic, nursing and medical backgrounds. Please note that for doctors, we only accept volunteers up to the level of Foundation Year 2. For qualified paramedics, we accept volunteers who are undertaking the Newly Qualified Paramedic (NQP) programme.
If you are selected to help support the exam diet, you must honour this commitment. Please ensure you have authorisation from your university to attend the examinations before committing. In order to assist you with organising time off with your university, the faculty are happy to provide a letter of support.
A CPD Event with dinner provided will be run during the exam diet as a thank you for your participation. There is also a social student supporter dinner provided on one of the evenings each diet as a thank you for your help.

Hello, my name is Juliet and I am the Junior Examinations Officer for the Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care. I’m really looking forward to welcoming all the student supporters to the upcoming examinations.
I am a Major Trauma fellow in Nottingham, and have been a student supporter for the FPHC exams since medical school. Joining the exams as a student supporter is a great opportunity to meet other students interested in PHEM, and to gain insight into how the exams work. It is a fantastic experience, I’d highly recommend getting involved.
If you have any questions about being a student supporter for the examinations, please get in touch, I’m happy to help. My email is juniorexaminationsofficer@rcsed.net.
I look forward to welcoming new and returning student supporters in Edinburgh.
Juliet Forsyth
FPHC Junior Examinations Officer
