Overview
Clinical aviation medicine in the UK is part of the Specialty of Aviation and Space Medicine but there are many different routes to be involved and most civilian practitioners work in aviation medicine as a bolt on special interest from general practice, occupational medicine or any hospital specialism.
Regulatory aviation medicine is based within national or international regulatory authorities, whilst opportunities to work in aviation medicine research occur within national research establishments and industry, or within the armed forces.
Completion of the Advanced Course in Aviation Medicine at King's College London and success in the examination prepares a medical practitioner for appointment as a Class 1 AME, allowing the medical assessment of student, private and professional pilots and air traffic controllers (with appropriate additional approval from the regulatory authority).
