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 it moved through Shadow Board status and elected its first Council and Officers. The Faculty was initially formed of Founding Fellows and Fellows, and recently welcomed further Associates, Members and Fellows into the organisation, following a successful member recruitment at the end of 2018. This has brought membership to over 300.

During 2019, the Faculty of Clinical Informatics intends to continue establishing clinical informatics as a fully recognised and respected profession, in line with its Mission, Vision, Values and Objectives. This is will be achieved by fulfilling a number of key objectives, including:

• Developing and publishing professional standards.
• Supporting revalidation processes.
• Providing professional accreditation for individuals and training courses.
• Supporting clinical informaticians at every stage of their career.
• Continuing to promote the profession.
• Providing professional leadership.
• Supporting recruitment and careers in clinical informatics.

The Faculty of Clinical Informatics has been, and continues to be, shaped by its unique, multi-professional membership cohort who bring a wealth of combined knowledge and experience.
