The DipIMC SBA paper tests 180 questions across the full breadth of pre-hospital emergency medicine. Dedicated question banks for this niche exam have been almost non-existent — until now.
iatroX Boards provides a DipIMC curriculum-mapped question bank with over 700 SBA questions, designed specifically for candidates preparing for the DipIMC written paper.
What the Q-Bank Covers
The 700+ questions are mapped to the FPHC curriculum across all examination domains: trauma management (primary survey, specific injuries, damage control resuscitation, haemorrhage control), medical emergencies in the pre-hospital setting (cardiac arrest, ACS, stroke, anaphylaxis, seizures, DKA, poisoning), pharmacology (mechanisms, doses, interactions, adverse effects for the pre-hospital formulary), paediatric emergencies (age-specific management, safeguarding, newborn resuscitation), obstetric emergencies (delivery complications, pharmacological management, perimortem caesarean), major incident management (METHANE, CSCATTT, triage, command and control), airway management (basic and advanced, failed airway, surgical airway, RSI), scene management and professional practice (dynamic risk assessment, consent, communication, documentation), and applied physiology (shock, respiratory failure, thermoregulation, acid-base).
Adaptive Spaced Repetition
The Q-Bank uses AI-driven adaptive spaced repetition — automatically resurfacing questions you got wrong at scientifically optimal intervals. Over a 6-month preparation period, this ensures that material studied in month 1 is retained through to exam day. The algorithm identifies your weakest areas from your first session and progressively targets them without requiring manual topic selection.
Guideline-Grounded Explanations
Every explanation references current UK guidelines, resuscitation council guidance, and FPHC Faculty Statements. When you get a question wrong, the explanation teaches the principle and links to the authoritative source. Ask iatroX provides instant extended reference for any topic that needs deeper exploration.
One Subscription, Multiple Q-Banks
A single iatroX Boards subscription provides access to the DipIMC Q-Bank alongside other specialty Q-banks including FFICM, and more. This is particularly valuable for candidates pursuing multiple pre-hospital and critical care qualifications.
Beyond Exam Day
iatroX is designed for clinical use alongside exam preparation. The same guideline reference that helps you learn the correct SBA answer helps you make the correct clinical decision during a real pre-hospital emergency. The tool travels with you — on your phone, available on scene, providing instant UK-guideline-grounded answers when you need them.
