Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Evening folks; Hope someone is able to assist me here. A while ago I received information from a body professing to be a registration authority in the making for remote medics. Sadly at the time I didn't bother much with the mail, now I have a group of friends looking into it and can't find the mail anywhere. Would someone be able to point me in a direction?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hi, check out the institute for remote site healthcare. They seem to be gathering speed but at the moment they are still just one society of many in healthcare. They want to introduce medic registration but it's a tall and all their corporate members are the companies who generally employ anyone and thus judtifybpaying the medics the lowest of all contractors in the remote game.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 They don't sound very legit! Until the world unites and recognizes that remote medics are not just paramedics. The UK for instance, you need minimum a Military medic background or HPC Paramedic as pre requisites just to get on the remote medic course. Until the US can get a grip of this fact there won't be a regulatory body worth bothering with. Sent by my very smart cat!

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hi These are the two that I am aware of: Institute of Remote HealthCare (IRHC) - http://www.irhc.org.uk/ Australasian Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (AREMT) - http://www.aremt.com.au/ The AREMT is not a `pure' remote/offshore/austere environment registry although it does seem to provide quite a bit of focus for these areas and any other international work areas. Do also see the comments by Bear and Grant as I think they are valid issues for both of these organizations. That said I do feel this is a step in the right direction at least and both organizations have made quite a bit of headway since their inception.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 The one overwhelming difficulty is to develop a framework which would be agreed by everyone. Nationally there would need to be minimum levels of experience / qualification to meet a band of membership which would then need to be agreed as acceptable to the international body. Different countries offer similar titles for much different levels of skill and training, with maybe doctor being the one that can be commonly agreed. It could be possible to get to something like 5 to 7 grades to provide comparison. One body would have to be brave enough to develop the minimum standards for each grade and then introduce the process of certification in their own country. Local standards would need to be proven by country for entry into the global standard along with an acceptable method of certifying the individual member. Of course this is going to be extremely difficult as when you get more than one medical provider in the same room they can't agree on the colour of sh#t. Any local board needs to be fairly and equally represented by various grades of medical staff across all grades in a remote/austere environment. We have global organisations that dictate best practice which gets diluted at local level by the question of who can provide that treatment, think resuscitation for a good example of this. All the best, Ross Re: Registration Authority Hi These are the two that I am aware of: Institute of Remote HealthCare (IRHC) - http://www.irhc.org.uk/ Australasian Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (AREMT) - http://www.aremt.com.au/ The AREMT is not a `pure' remote/offshore/austere environment registry although it does seem to provide quite a bit of focus for these areas and any other international work areas.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Kodos to you my fellow medic. I am sad that you got sandblasted in such a manner but, I am proud of you heart and drive. Keep safe...and employed. May good sunshine be ever on you shoulders.
