WHICH REGION AM I IN? 

Your region is predominantly related to the geographical location you live or work in and are based on the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) used by the National Office of Statistics and others.

The nations of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are of course clear.

Those members in the military and members registered in the UK but practicing outside of the UK borders, are within the Military and Overseas sector. 

Members should log in to the College website and go to their Member Profile, where they can ensure they are allocated the most appropriate region/sector. This will then be the one you can stand within, be represented within and be active within as a member.

Should you choose to stand for member representative and be successful, your role on the Paramedic Council will be the representative voice of your colleagues in that nation/region/sector. 


ASSOCIATE MEMBERS

If you are an associate member, your member representative sits on the Paramedic Council for you as well as for full members. Member groups and networks will be developed in each region/sector which will be open to all members and will need the involvement of members of all categories. Please watch out for opportunities to get involved.

STUDENT MEMBERS

If you are a student paramedic, your member representative sits on the Paramedic Council for you as well as for full members and associate member. However, the Student Council is also there as a platform for the student member. Read more about our Student Council.
