PHECC Practitioner Registration: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to maintain your legal authorization to practice as a paramedic or advanced paramedic in Ireland through PHECC registration.
This registration provides the legal authorization required to practice as a pre-hospital emergency care professional in Ireland.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically designed for professionals working within the Irish emergency care system. It is mandatory for all practicing paramedics and advanced paramedics currently working in Ireland who wish to maintain their professional standing and legal right to perform their duties.
What you get
The primary benefit of this scheme is obtaining the legal authorization necessary to practice pre-hospital emergency care. This registration acts as the official recognition of your professional status, ensuring you are legally permitted to provide medical care in emergency settings across the country.
What it costs you
Maintaining your status involves both a financial cost and a commitment of time. You are required to pay an annual retention fee of €100 to keep your registration active. Additionally, you must dedicate time to professional development and provide official proof of your completed CPD (Continuing Professional Development) hours to the council.
The catch to know
The most critical detail to manage is the timing of your documentation. You must ensure that all your CPD evidence is uploaded to the system within the required timeframes. If you fail to upload this evidence on time, the council will trigger an automatic suspension of your professional license.
How to apply
- Access the official portal used by the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council.
- Prepare your documentation regarding your completed CPD hours.
- Upload your professional development evidence to the system.
- Complete the payment of your €100 annual retention fee.
