Follow the link to a letter from the National President and a one question survey! The winner of the Registration Package for Conference 2008 in Melbourne was Annette Webster from WA. Congratulations to Annette and thanks to all those who returned the survey prior to 3rd February 2008. Whilst the competition is closed the survey will remain in place for another month. |
ACAP believes that standards should apply to the provision and endorsement of events and activities that are marketed towards the paramedic profession. All ACAP events are measured against the attached CPE event endorsement package. External providers may seek the endorsement of ACAP for their event or activity and it will similarly be measured against the standards published in the event endorsement package. |

The ACAP National AGM for 2008 will be held at the Melbourne Convention Centre at 1100 hours on Thursday 4th September 2008. |
The ACAP Board of Directors is seeking input from the membership to inform the study team currently investigating the benefits of paramedic regulation and ways in which a regulatory regime may be progressed. Preliminary work has identified three broadly different models of regulation which are outlined in a document available for viewing HERE , along with an introductory letter written by ACAP National President Mr. Ian Patrick. A paper has since been published and feedback is welcome from all stakeholders. It is titled "Paramedics in Transition (Operation Phoenix)" and can be downloaded HERE . |
