Please Note:  FICM Associate Fellows with an Associate-level affiliation with one of the above trustee colleges (such as Associate Fellowship of the RCoA) will pay a lower subscription rate than those with no trustee college affiliation.

Affiliates application form

There are two methods by which trainees may register with the FICM. These membership routes have evolved from the previous methods by which doctors undertaking ICM training would register with the Faculty’s predecessor, the Intercollegiate Board for Training in Intensive Care Medicine.

Trainees who may register with the Faculty fall into two distinct categories:

1) ICM CCT Programme Registration

This route is for doctors who have been appointed, via open competition, to a programme culminating in the award of a Certificate of Completion of Training in ICM. 

These doctors should complete an ICM CCT Registration Form. 

Doctors on the ICM CCT will then progress through the training programme; after completing Stage 1 training they will be awarded a Stage 1 Training Certificate. Whilst in Stage 2 ICM, they must pass the FFICM Final examination. Upon completion of Stage 3 training, they are then awarded their ICM CCT.

Click here for more information on joining the ICM CCT programme.

2) ICM Affiliate Trainees

These are doctors who are completing blocks of ICM training outside the ICM CCT programme, who wish to have this training subsequently recognised via membership of the Faculty. 

These trainees should complete an Affiliate Trainee Registration Form. 

Affiliate Trainees will continue in their parent CCT, acquiring blocks of ICM training which should be in line with the policies and systems of the Faculty and signed off by FICM Tutors and Regional Advisors. 

Affiliate Trainees will be eligible for Affiliate Fellowship of the Faculty upon completion of training commensurate with:

• Stage 1 level ICM (as defined by the standalone CCT in ICM) – if the doctor entered Higher Specialist Training after 1 August 2012.

Once Affiliate Trainees are confirmed as Affiliate Fellows they may apply to sit the FFICM examination. Please note that there are no post-nominals associated with Affiliate Fellowship.

Affiliate Trainee status is only open to doctors in training. Affiliate Trainees must either achieve Affiliate Fellowship or resign their Affiliate Trainee status upon gaining their parent specialty CCT.
