About us

The College of Paramedics is the recognised professional body for all paramedics in the UK, whose role is to promote and develop the paramedic profession across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The College of Paramedics was established in 2001, is a membership organisation with over 21,000 members, and a Charity, registered with the Charities Commission, since 2015. Membership is open to all UK paramedics registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), student paramedics who are studying for a qualification leading to eligibility to apply for registration with the HCPC and those who have an interest in the paramedic profession and healthcare delivery. The College of Paramedics provides advice to members and student members alike and is a source of information and guidance for those who are considering becoming a paramedic. All members, regardless of background have access to a wide variety of learning resources that provide high quality continuing professional development (CPD) across a range of platforms and at many events held around the UK. The College of Paramedics supports the paramedic profession through publication of a wide range of documents that underpin the profession, including undergraduate and post graduate curricula, practice education guidance and a post graduate career framework. The College represents its members in all matters affecting their clinical practice, supporting them to achieve the highest possible standards of patient care through a broad membership of a variety of national stakeholder working groups, advisory committees and ongoing research projects. The Research and Development Advisory Committee has a strategic role in shaping research policy and activity on behalf of the College of Paramedics. The College of Paramedics has its own journal, the British Paramedic Journal, available online to its members.
