Happy (and very surprised) to report I passed the Final FRCA Written exam! Celebrating on a long day on call for labour ward with M&S lemon Fanta and a chocolate eclair 😁

Really love this comparison of lack of AI accountability today to unfair credit reporting practices in the 1960s.

Andrews argues that the FRCA effectively built an "epistemic layer" to protect people by defining terms, imposing accuracy standards, and creating an audit trail...
AI treats language as statistics without accountable meanings, argues James Andrews. The credit reporting industry once did the same, shaping lives with opaque, unaccountable outputs—until the 1970 Fair Credit Reporting Act imposed definitions, auditability, and responsibility.

James Andrews points to lessons from the FCRA to show how governments can govern AI responsibly.

FRCA ✅ 🥳 🍾

Looking forward to a life without exams and being able to learn because something is interesting or useful, rather than just because someone might quiz me about in a viva!

In a highly unexpected turn of events, the @rcoanews.bsky.social have decided not to invite me back and instead made me a Fellow.

Hoping that those of you waiting for FRCA results today received the news you were hoping. For those who didn’t, I hope you are ok

Got myself a festive candle to make my flat smell amazing and to cheer up revision 🥰
The question remains whether its festive powers can extend to making Final FRCA facts stick in my head…optimism is currently lacking 😩 All revision tips welcome please and thank you 🙏 #FRCA #AnSky

Congratulations to anyone celebrating their @rcoanews.bsky.social Primary FRCA result today.

To anyone not celebrating their result, remember it doesn't define you as either an anaesthetist or a person.

Dust yourself off, and absolutely demolish it next time. I have every faith in you.

I'm in disbelief. They can't take this back right?... #FRCA

We continue the journey through opiate agents for the FRCA Primary exam.

This week is Oxycodone, the usual kinetics and clinical bits and a wee hint about exploitative pharmaceutical companies...
