The Faculty of Clinical Informatics is being established as the professional membership body for all clinical informaticians across the UK. The Royal College of General Practitioners and the Royal College of Physicians have been key in its initiation and the NHS Paperless 2020 Building a Digital Ready Workforce programme has provided supporting resources.
Last year the Faculty announced the names of those appointed to the Founding Fellowship and so far this year they have elected our inaugural Council and Officers, and we recently announced the addition of our latest cohort of Fellows.
We will be opening up for further member categories later this year. You can register your interest to opt-in to receiving Faculty updates below.
The Faculty will establish clinical informatics as a recognised and respected profession by:
- publishing professional standards
- supporting revalidation processes
- providing professional accreditation for individuals and training courses
- supporting clinical informaticians at every stage of their career
- promoting the profession
- providing professional leadership
See our mission, vision, values and objectives statement in full here
Clinical informaticians are qualified clinicians (doctors, dentists, nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, social workers and pharmacists) who transform health and care through their specialist knowledge and use of data, information, knowledge and information technology.
The newly appointed Founding Fellows and Fellows will work to shape the Faculty from an early stage.
Resources
The Faculty of Clinical Informatics will offer a range of resources including:
Career advice and support
Accreditation of learning and development
Latest news and information in clinical informatics
Further services will be added as the Faculty develops.
