The College of Paramedics has been a key partner in the development of the Enhanced Level Practice for paramedics schema, having welcomed the opportunity to work collaboratively with colleagues from NHS England and Sheffield Hallam University to shape post-registration education opportunities for paramedics.
Key members of the college have informed specific areas relating to their expertise; we welcome this clear articulation of the Enhanced Level Practice requirements and are delighted to have been able to capture a progression route for those paramedics that wish to remain in generalist practice.
There will be increasing opportunities for enhanced level paramedics to work across the health and care economy in roles that span the four pillars of practice as we head into the future. This work gives the opportunity to avoid unnecessary and unwarranted variation, thus creating reliable transferability for employers and enhanced level paramedics alike.
