We are delighted to announce that in February, CEO Rupert and CTO Nasrin were accepted as Fellows of the Faculty of Clinical Informatics!
The faculty was established as the professional membership body for all clinical informaticians within the UK – formed of a group of health and social care professionals, who through their specialist knowledge around data and information technology, can assist in the delivery of safe, person-centred care.
The FCI aims to establish clinical informatics as a recognised profession, develop professional standards, provide training and accreditation for individuals and courses, and support recruitment and careers in clinical informatics.
