FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dr. Nic Sparrow Awarded Honorary Fellowship in Trauma & Critical Care

Nelson, BC | January 23, 2026— KERPA is proud to announce that Dr. Nic Sparrow has been awarded an Honorary Fellowship in Trauma & Critical Care (FFTACC) by the ATACC Faculty Council, in recognition of his long-standing, dedicated, and influential contribution to trauma and critical care medicine.

The prestigious honour was approved by the ATACC Faculty Council following nomination and formal review, acknowledging Dr. Sparrow’s more than 15 years of leadership, education, and clinical excellence in trauma and critical care both locally and internationally.

The Fellowship is conferred by the Faculty of Trauma & Critical Care and is jointly accredited by The ATACC Group and the Royal College of Surgeons, London. Honorary Fellowships are awarded sparingly and recognise exceptional contributions to the field, with recipients granted Fellowship status without the standard examination process.

“It is a tremendous honour to see Dr. Sparrow recognised at this level by such a respected international faculty. This Fellowship reflects not only his clinical expertise, but his ongoing commitment to advancing emergency and trauma care for patients and communities.”

As a Fellow of the Faculty of Trauma & Critical Care, Dr. Sparrow is entitled to use the post-nominals FFTACC, participate in Diploma and Fellowship examinations, contribute as an examiner, and engage in ATACC educational events and activities worldwide.

KERPA congratulates Dr. Sparrow on this significant achievement, which highlights both his individual impact and the calibre of trauma and emergency care leadership serving the Kootenay region.
