Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and Continuous Professional Competence (CPC)

As part of the CPC consultation process for EMTs CPC PHECC will be presenting information evenings in three locations nationwide in the new year.


The first discussion forum held at RESUS in April of this year was followed by a national electronic survey. The survey received an exceptional response and yielded many interesting points for consideration and inclusion in the proposed structure of CPC for EMTs.

The second phase of the consultation process was to circulate a CPC information booklet to organisations and recognised institutions for feedback. This information booklet will soon be distributed to all EMTs.

Information Evenings.

It is essential that all EMTs are aware of their own responsibilities in order to ensure compliance with the CPC requirements. The purpose of these information evenings is to provide further clarification on any required components of CPC. The evenings will be planned as a maximum 2-hour event comprising of a presentation followed by a questions and answer session.

The evenings are offered to individuals who might like to come along and listen/ask questions but it is not compulsory for you to attend.

EMTs will be contacted by email with further details (please ensure that your email address on the PHECC database is correct by sending an email to info@phecc.ie).

Thank you for your valuable input to date and I look forward to meeting you at one of the events.
