Summary: | The Fellowship in Immediate Medical Care (FIMC) is the highest level of formal qualification available for pre-hospital practitioners, aiming to test the knowledge, technical and non-technical skills of those providing specialist Pre-Hospital Emergency Care (PHEC). The FIMC is a multiprofessional examination with the potential to support continuous quality improvement of the PHEC that the Defence Medical Services (DMS) can offer to our patients now and in the future. The aim of this article is to inform the readership about the evolution of the FIMC examination and its applicability to military clinicians (and their civilian counterparts). A secondary aim is to inform those who are preparing for the examination. |
