U.K Register of Emergency Medical Technicians
The UKREMT registers ALL those that work in PreHospital Care not just traditional EMTs (Ambulance Technicians). We start the register framework with Associate Members A-C and then Full Membership is for those working at levels D-G on the PHEM Framework, which is an external skills framework developed by the RCSEd.
This site its Checks, Forums and Education is all for the good of the PreHospital Care Community.and the wider safety of the public.
A new Chapter for the UKREMT:
We’re proud to announce that the UK Register of EMTs (UKREMT) is becoming a charity-operated, free-to-access national register, hosted under GWAS Ambulance Charity CIO.Our mission is simple:
Raise standards. Improve public safety. Support every pre-hospital clinician — without cost.The UKREMT will remain fully independent, but supported and sustained by the charity’s infrastructure.
Our Registrants MUST meet these minimum requirements
Minimum level of Training Hours logged
Registrants must meet the required minimum training hours as per accepted industry standards for each level on the UKREMT to gain registry, the minimum amount does vary dependant on the qualification and grade on the registry but will include a minimum of 750 clinical hours for levels F & above.
36hrs of CPD
Each year our full registrants must complete at least 36 hours of Continued Professional Development in order to remain registered, the amount of CPD increases the higher UKREMT grade you hold.
100% Percent of Applicants Audited
All UKREMT applications are fully audited before registration is given. Then re-audited every two years for all those requesting to remain on the register, no applicant or renewal will be accepted without photo ID that matches their certificates. All applicants will also have to supply an Enhanced DBS.
Current Patient Contact
Full registrants must demonstrate current patient experience via their application & CV. The number of patient contact hours & relevant CPD and experience must be proven before registration at grades F, G or H
Fitness to Practice
All full registrants will agree to our Fitness to Practice guidelines for UK EMTs and follow the EMT Code at all times.
Compliance of Skill – Grades F, G & H
As well as the initial registration assessment and audit of their qualifications and ID, all those requiring registration with claimed skills grade of G & H, may be asked to pass a written clinical and if needed a practical skills assessment (OSCE). This is to ensure that those registrants have up-to-date skills.
The UKREMT uses the RCSEd PHEM Framework to assign a grade A-H & members must meet 100% of skills in the matrix to qualify at the appropriate grade.
