Programme of assessment - The Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (FRCA)

The FRCA examinations will continue to be overseen by the Examinations Committee and Examinations Department. No major planned changes to the content of the examinations are expected as a result of this new curriculum; the existing question banks have been reviewed by examiners with the contents being mapped to the new structure and appropriate blueprints developed as part of the Assessment Strategy. Other planned changes to examinations will continue to be implemented as expected and future changes will be highlighted in the planned assessment strategy document.

The Primary FRCA is to be completed by the end of CT3 and the final FRCA by the end of ST5, notwithstanding any remedial time allocated.
