The successful running of any exam relies upon support from the Examinations Department and the hard work of the Board of Examiners, who have many responsibilities relating to the exam such as question writing, revising and standard setting, as well as examining the oral section. I would particularly like to thank the examiners who retired over the last year. My thanks also go to the senior examiners who have additional responsibilities: Drs Jerome Cockings (Deputy Chair and Audit), Barbara Philips and Stephanie Strachan (SOE), Jeremy Cordingley and Anthony Bastin (OSCE) and Jeremy Bewley and Carol McMillan (MCQ) as well as all of the Board of Examiners and the RCoA’s Exams Department. This exam has involved a huge amount of extra work by both the examiners and exams department, who rose to the task of designing, training for and delivering the first remote FFICM oral exam.
