As well as setting standards, the HCPC keep a register of professionals, known as 'registrants', who meet the defined standards, the HCPC are also responsible for taking action if a professional on the register does not meet their standards. The ‘paramedic’ title is protected in law and all paramedics must be registered with the HCPC to be able to practice.
