Although the term paramedic is widely used to describe ambulance personnel of all grades and regardless of qualification or training level,[2] in many countries, including the United States and Germany, the use of the word paramedic (in Germany, Rettungsassistent) is restricted by law, as in the United Kingdom, where the title "Paramedic" is a protected title by law and regulated by the Health Professions Council (HPC), to describe a health professional with a set of skills laid out in the code of practice from the HPC. The person claiming the title must have passed a specific set of examinations and clinical placements, and hold a valid registration, certification, or license with a governing body.[3] This is in line with the protection often seen for other healthcare professions such as doctors or nurses.
