Quarter of all registered paramedics now members of the College of Paramedics

The College of Paramedics has confirmed it now represents 25% of all Health and Care Professions Council registered paramedics.

Speaking of reaching this important milestone, chief executive Gerry Egan said:

‘I am delighted we have reached the 25% figure. This is an important milestone in the College’s strategic direction, it reflects the growth of the College and the growth in interest from paramedics in how we influence and guide the direction of our profession. Many thanks are due to everybody involved in getting the College to where it is today, including the administrative team at our headquarters, our executive officers, our Council members and, of course, the continued support of our members. We are halfway to achieving one of the requirements to become a Royal College and I am sure it will not be that long before we are knocking on the door of 50%. Everyone can help us on this incredible journey by promoting the College and spreading the good news.’
