FFARCS examination from 1985

The Faculty of Anaesthetists has revised the structure of the FFARCS to make the examination conform more closely to present patterns of training. Part 1, commencing February 1985, tests the clinical ability of a trainee with about one year's experience especially in the management of relevant emergency anaesthesia. In Part 2, basic sciences are tested. Part 3, the Final Examination, is directed to overall knowledge related to the completion of general professional training. It must be emphasized that the extent of the examination and level of knowledge remains unchanged.
