Unregistered Health Practitioners - aka Event First Aid and other providers

(1/2) > >>

Numpty2012:

Looks like the providers delivering Paramedic, Event Medical and First Aid services who are not registered providers under the Health Care Act 2008 will fall into this new legislation, gazetted 14th March 2013.

"Unregistered Health Practitioners - Code of Practice".

http://www.hcscc.sa.gov.au/documents//02_what's%20new/h_Plain%20English%20Version%20Code%20of%20Conduct.pdf

That's right ...  all of those first aid and event medical "PARAMEDICS" will have to display the code, have appropriate qualifications  :-o (displayed) and also have Professional Indemnity / Public Liability Insurance covering exactly the scope of services they intend to provide.

SA Health finally tightening up.

Paramedic Registration only deals with part of the issue.  This expanded approach appears to be covering the gaps.

About time.

also interesting is the fact that SAAS are exempt from this.....wonder which wonder-child decided that

straps:
Exempt from displaying the code, not exempt from compliance...

My My,

Some-one is getting the message it appears.

If one does not have a licence under the health act (part 6) and and appropiate insurances they should not be attending to anyone.

sba:
Straps is right. SAAS Paras and AOs are considered unregistered health care workers until/if Registration occurs.

It covers all pre-hospital providers including commercial and not for profits
