For the first time, Paramedics are using Artificial Intelligence that will allow them to care for hundreds of extra patients a day.
Trialled by our Clinical Hub, AI is helping to save time on writing notes, enabling our clinicians to treat more people over the phone.

The HCPC (@The_HCPC) is conducting a consultation on its proposed new Sanctions Policy for #FitnessToPractise cases and I really encourage registrants in particular to respond.
Many of the points we've included in our response are legalistic (e.g. "The guidance on criminal convictions and cautions is wrong and does not reflect the updated legal position following the case of PSA v GDC & Patel [2024] EWHC 243 (Admin). Rather, it wrongly asserts the previous position from Fleischmann v GDC [2005] EWHC 87 (Admin)"). However, I think the most important feedback we've provided is that the document is unwieldy and confusing (as well as occasionally being wrong) and we think it likely that an unrepresented registrant trying to navigate the HCPC process alone would find it indecipherable. That's the real problem and missed opportunity with the current draft of the new policy and it could - and should - be greatly improved.
The consultation will remain open until 1 September 2025 and can be accessed here: hcpc-uk.org/news-and-events/…

College of Paramedics: there is a “serious graduate employment crisis” - up to 40% of new graduates unable to find a job in England. The College said figures were “shocking”. This comes after govt announced plans for trusts to employ more newly qualified nurses and midwives.

I was so pleased today to receive the nursing badges & buckles of my late Aunty Nina. She came to England at 15 & qualified as a RMN, RGN & Midwife in 1965, 1968 & 1969. She was loved ❤️

1/ Many of us will have read the High Court's Judgment of yesterday in the tragic #ArchieBattersbee case. Here's a link. For healthcare lawyers, the Judgment is not at all unusual so far as declaration of best interests cases go.

At hospital with our first patient of our 12hr shift, and I have no doubt that this will be our only patient, due to holding. This isn’t unusual. It’s shift after shift. People are suffering as a result. This is a crisis.

@DavidDPara @withoutstigma this has potential for our area 👍👍

2/ My advice is to not reply to the HCPC individually. Take advice from the College of Paramedics or any other representative body of which you're a member. This is a complex matter which raises many issues both for the affected paramedics & their employing NHS Trusts.
David Davis retweeted
1/ I'm aware that a number of @The_HCPC registered #paramedics have received letters from the HCPC stating the HCPC has retrospectively decided that their qualifications do not meet the standard for HCPC registration (which the HCPC itself already granted to these paramedics...)
