The Faculty of Clinical Informatics has been established as the multi-professional membership body for all health and social care qualified individuals working as informaticians across the UK.
Since the initial formation of a Steering Group in 2015, the Faculty has made significant progress and in only three years has moved through Shadow Board status and elected its first Council and Officers. At present, the Faculty is formed of over 150 Founding Fellows and Fellows, and is set to welcome further Associates, Members and Fellows into the organisation, in early 2019, following a recent successful member recruitment round.
