Synopsis

Combining expert advice with practical guidance, the Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee Clinical Guidelines are the essential resource for paramedics. The guidelines are written specifically for the ambulance paramedic role, providing a comprehensive overview of the principle areas they may encounter, and supporting them in providing excellent patient care.

This 2022 edition has been updated with the latest evidence and developments in clinical practice. Key reviews have taken place on guidelines within the Resuscitation and Special Situations sections, as well as updates to Maternity guidelines such as Care of the Newborn and Newborn Life Support. Medicine guidelines have been removed, but are available on the iCPG and JRCALC Plus apps, where they are regularly updated to ensure that the most up-to-date guidance is available to clinicians.

The JRCALC Clinical Guidelines 2022 now contains crucial guidance on topics, including:

• Acute Behavioural Disturbance
• Alcohol use-disorders
• Low Back Pain (Non-Traumatic)
• Patients with Communication Difficulties
• Steroid-Dependent patients
• Vascular Emergencies

Medicine information and updates to guidelines are published on the JRCALC apps, iCPG and JRCALC Plus, as required. The JRCALC apps contain the complete and most current information.

About this title

About the Author

The JRCALC clinical guidelines are produced by JRCALC for NHS ambulance service paramedics, on behalf of the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives (AACE). Working closely alongside the National Ambulance Service Medical Directors (NASMeD), who represent all UK Ambulance Services, JRCALC effectively fulfils the liaison role of its title. The committee is comprised of experts ranging across the whole spectrum of medical disciplines, including paramedics, physicians, midwives, nurses, general practitioners, pharmacists, surgeons, obstetricians, pathologists and more. Members are nominated by their respective organisations/specialities/colleges, and formally convene three times a year, with the majority of the guidance review and development transpiring between meetings. 

The guidelines continue to be produced by JRCALC through guideline development sub-groups. Each sub-group is made up of a multi-professional team with expert subject knowledge and pre-hospital experience and will be chaired by a JRCALC representative.
