Can you use letters as well as numbers in the pin number? It would be easier to remember. I suppose this is to allow for more people to join the register. I cannot understand why this change needs to bemade. Issue PHECC ID Card Holders with ID?

PHECC propose to annualise registration dates at each level on the register. Do you agree with annual renewal dates?

Renewal dates should depend on your registration date. 

Is this a revenue generating exercise?
Why not every two years or even five?
No direct impact on individuals.

Suggested annual renewal dates are: EMT-July Paramedic - April Advanced Paramedic - September.
Do you agree with the proposed renewal dates?

Fine with P and A P. July not a good month due to holidays and leave.
It is quite possibly a practitioner could miss their date of renewal. Why not January for EMT?
Seems to make sense to separate to spread the admin load.
Believe better to be Jan-Dec and re-registering Jan.

Online registration is being introduced in 2012 to improve efficiencies in the registration process. This online system will enable existing registrants to update their own information directly. Do you agree with this initiative?

As long as there is security to prevent someone updating my details with just my pin. This is good as it falls into line with other organisations / companies. But reminders will need to be sent. Online is theway to go in the age of smartphones.
