Developing the Profession and Continuous Professional Competence
 The progress of pre-hospital emergency care services in Ireland is continuing to develop in line with international best practice over the last number of years. The introduction and implementation of clinical practice guidelines, including the associated medications that can now be used by registered practitioners, and the introduction of a statutory register for pre-hospital practitioners, are just some of the initiatives that have assisted in elevating the role of the practitioner, and indeed the profession, both nationally and internationally.

CFR Training Resources
 PHECC proposes to design and produce new training products to assist with the delivery of the CFR Education and Training Standard 2011. These products will be available to recognised institutions and CFR-instructors to deliver the CFR-community, CFR advanced and dual certified IHF/AHA & PHECC courses.

2011 Education and Training Standards
The closing date for the public consultation project for PHECC’s draft 2011 education and training standards is now closed. PHECC would like to express its gratitude for the many email submissions received during the consultation period. The Medical Advisory Group at their November meeting considered the draft recognised courses and there was consensus that the proposals were comprehensive and meeting service users’ needs.

First Driving Course - Great Success
Under its contract with the HSE, EMSTAR has recently completed their first PHECC-accredited emergency driving course at the National Ambulance Service College.

Irish Healthcare Awards 2010
 The PHECC nationwide Citizen CPR campaign won a commendation award at the Irish Health Care Awards 2010 in the best public health initiative category. Citizen CPR was pipped at the post by the Irish Examiner initiative. The Examiner project consisted of a twopart supplement on suicide which was published last year, the aim of which was to put a human face on a national crisis. This initiative was also awarded the best overall prize ‘An Duais Mhór’ for 2010, so PHECC was runner up to the best!
