Faculty of Clinical Informatics

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. The Faculty recently elected its first Council and Officers, who took over responsibility from the Shadow Board in June 2018, and a list of Founding Fellows and Fellows can be found on the website. The Faculty will open for further membership categories later this year. Safe, effective and efficient healthcare achieved through the best use of information and information technology.
