JRCALC

JRCALC is the Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee. It is responsible for setting the standards for pre-hospital care in the United Kingdom.

The Guidelines sub-committee is chaired by Dr Simon Brown, and produces National clinical Guidelines for Paramedics ecvery two years. These are the only NHS recognised benchmarks for paramedic care.

They also produce a pocket book, which provides an easy source of reference for all paramedic drugs.

the guidelines are produced from evidence based medicine, which is researched and discussed by a team including representatives from all UK ambulance services, and most medical disciplines. The research is led by three research fellows at the University of Warwick - Dr Joanne Fisher, Mike Smyth and Stephen Hines.

The fourth version of the guidelines was published in April 2006.
