The DipIMC reading list

By Leigh Rogers · Counts updated 31 October 2026

The College publishes no official reading list. The exam is set against the PHEM curriculum and current UK practice, guidelines and consensus statements.

This list is built from the sources behind DipIMC.Ninja's own questions. The number next to each source is how many questions in the bank cite it, which is a rough guide to how much ground it covers. You can build a personal reading list from the questions you get wrong. It is kept in your browser; signing in, which is optional, carries it to your other devices.

Core textbooks

Resuscitation

Resuscitation Council UK Guidelines 2025 replaced the 2021 guidelines in October 2025 (all 2025 guidelines):

JRCALC

The JRCALC Clinical Guidelines are the UK ambulance service guidelines, including drug monographs and the Page for Age charts. They are a paid, per-user licence (book or app). DipIMC.Ninja cites JRCALC sections by name but never reproduces its text.

FPHC consensus statements

The Faculty's own consensus statements are the examining body's position on pre-hospital practice. Read them all (full list). Those most cited in the bank:

NICE guidance

Transfer

Law, ethics and governance
