The Royal College of Anaesthetists has commissioned an independent external review of the FRCA, FFICM and FFPMRCA examinations, and is inviting Members and stakeholders to give their opinions as part of the process.
The College is returning to face-to-face delivery for SOEs and OSCEs in the FRCA, FFICM and FFPM exams. The written MCQ and CRQ components will remain online for all exams.
This report sets out how the NHS is in dire need of more anaesthetists. Anaesthetists play a critical role across many NHS services, and most operations require an anaesthetist to be present in order to take place.
