The Primary FRCA is the first part of the FRCA examination. The College recommends that trainees do not sit any of the Primary examination components until they have completed the initial assessment of competency in anaesthesia.
Last month, the College took a ‘temperature check’ of the work our members on the frontline were doing and what impact their experience of the last year has had on their training, their skill set and their wellbeing.
Dr Jason Walker is a consultant anaesthetist working in the district general hospital Ysbyty Gwynedd in Wales - here he discusses what led him to want to become a FRCA examiner.
Successful candidates on the Final FRCA examination are awarded the fellowship by examination of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and may use the letters FRCA after their name.
