Paramedics Australasia app for iPhone and iPad

Paramedics Australasia (PA) is the national professional association representing practitioners who provide paramedic services to the community. Paramedic practitioners are best known for their involvement in the delivery of out of hospital emergency medical care through their work with various Ambulance Service organisations throughout Australia. However, paramedics work in many environments including community, industrial, military and university settings as well as on humanitarian and relief operations.

PA provides a national platform for the development and promulgation of policies and service standards that will enhance the quality of patient care. PA does this by representing the interests of practitioners on matters relating to:

National and local health policies that affect the delivery of frontline primary and emergency care;
The professional standards of education, training, and continuing professional development of paramedic practitioners;
The funding, standards, quality and accreditation of emergency service providers;
The registration and associated regulatory framework of paramedic practice;
Enhancing communication and fostering best practice through communication and interaction between paramedic practitioners and other health and allied health professionals.
Paramedics Australasia supports its members by;

Providing opportunities for professional development and programs of continuing education;
Publication of a quarterly general interest journal Response;
Publication of a peer-reviewed electronic Journal of Emergency Primary Health Care;
The provision of information through a website and other communication media;
The conduct of scientific Conferences, Symposia and other professional Workshops;
Sponsorship and fostering of evidence-based research and special interest groups in paramedicine;
Participation in relevant local and national health care policy committees, regulatory bodies, clinical groups and other healthcare stakeholder activities.
