International Paramedic: connecting the world
Paramedics are often represented by local, state or national organisations. For example, 20 055 paramedics are registered by the Health and Care Professions Council in the United Kingdom (Health and Care Professions Council, 2014), 63 882 by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (Health Professions Council of South Africa, 2014), over 17 000 by the Paramedic Association of Canada (Paramedic Association of Canada, 2014), and 270 000 by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) in the United States (NREMT, 2014). Additionally, the Federal Government reports that there are 15 220 full-time paramedics and 7 456 ambulance volunteers in Australia (Steering Committee for the Review of Government Service Provision, 2014), many of whom are members of Paramedics Australasia (Paramedics Australia, 2014). This snapshot of only five regions of the world identifies over 393 613 paramedics who did not have a voice internationally, until now.
