The College of Paramedics, formerly the British Paramedic Association,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Web Links for Paramedic Studies )〕 is the independent professional body for paramedics in the United Kingdom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Allied health profession disciplines )〕 The role of the College is to promote and develop the Paramedic profession across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The College represents the Paramedic profession across key organisations such as the UK regulator - Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hcpc-uk.org/aboutregistration/professions/index.asp?id=10#profDetails )〕 the Department of Health and the Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee (JRCALC).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://jrcalc.org.uk/committees_main_members.html )〕 ==History== Paramedicine in the UK began with regional schemes in the 1970s and the introduction of a national course in 1985 for ‘extended care ambulance staff.’ The statutory regulator, the Health Professions Council (HPC) - now Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) was formed in 2001, and as part of its remit is required to liaise with professional bodies representing each of the professions for whom it is responsible. Paramedics were the only professional group in the initial registration to not have representation by a central body. Two members of staff from the then Essex Ambulance Service established a professional association to represent the paramedic profession and undertake the self-regulation of paramedic standards and education required by the HPC. The name of 'British Paramedic Association' (BPA) was agreed at an inaugural meeting held at AMBEX in 2001.〔British Paramedic Association http://www.britishparamedic.org/aboutbpa/〕 In 2009 its name was changed to the College of Paramedics. This reflected the associations ambitions to be not only the professional voice of pre-hospital ambulance clinicians, but as the driving authority for increasing sections of pre-hospital clinical care education, training, proficiency and continuous professional development. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「College of Paramedics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
