Government Affairs

EMS and Critical Care Transport landscapes are evolving. These changes will be for better or for worse, but they are changes that can be influenced by an active and engaged membership.

The IAFCCP Government Relations Committee provides advocacy and support by focusing on critical issues that affect the paramedic profession worldwide. We keep a constant watch of medical transport issues and pending or recently defeated bills on paramedic advocacy issues.

Advocacy

The vision of the IAFCCP Delegate Program is to develop local representation into Chapters that can fund and direct the future of paramedics in the Critical Care Environment. Through the Delegates, Chapters and GLAC we plan to create a continuity of care through the expanded scope of practice supported by educational development throughout the country. The IAFCCP’s blueprint for a new EMS governing body in every region will assist in the development of continuity of care. By creating continuity in EMS, we build unity and this ultimately affects the professional development of Paramedics.
