Acting on behalf of an organisation (paid or voluntary) approved to implement Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) is one of the criteria for Practitioners (EMTs, Paramedics and Advanced Paramedics) to administer medications legally in Ireland.
CPG-Approved service providers are those who have successfully applied to Council for approval to implement PHECC's CPGs. The 3rd Edition CPGs are the latest version and approval for these gives a wider scope of practice to the Practitioners than hear to fore.
