Technician
An EMT has the skills to assess a patient’s condition and to manage respiratory, cardiac, and trauma emergencies. They are also able to administer various time critical medication as well as basic medications.
An EMT is an unregistered government bodied clinician and would be trained to the equivalent of FREC5. An EMT will be used on Medium to High risk events.
Paramedic
Paramedics are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and work as autonomous practitioners. Their primary role is to provide advanced emergency medical care for time-critical and emergent patients.
The ‘paramedic’ title is protected by law, and all paramedics must be registered with the HCPC to practice. A Paramedic can administer time-critical pre-hospital medication.
