Council

 

The College of Paramedics is run by an elected council. Each position is voted in by the full members for that area and the post is held for two years. Each area also an alternate position.
Council meets three times a year and sets the strategic direction of the College. All Council members give their time on a voluntary basis and receive no payment for undertaking their duties.
