Updated Diploma in Immediate Medical Care: applicability to military and civilian clinicians.
Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps · 2018-11-14 · Other / unclear
Abstract
The Diploma in Immediate Medical Care (DipIMC) is the entry-level interprofessional civilian qualification for prehospital emergency care (PHEC) in the UK. It is designed to test the knowledge, skills and behaviours of PHEC practitioners. Military personnel are eligible to enter, dependent on the level of PHEC experience they have. The DipIMC examination has changed in recent years; this paper aims to update aspiring candidates on the application process, recommended preparation and skill-set required to pass.
