Registrant Consultation

We wish to consult with registrants on the following proposed Register-related developments which are designed to future-proof the Register, streamline the registration process and to provide additional efficiencies in the management of registrant data.

These proposals refer to – 

• PIN number 
• Online registration renewal
• Annual renewal dates
• Consultation feedback

Six-Digit PIN Numbers

In order to future proof the register and to facilitate the increasing number of PINs being issued, we propose to increase PIN numbers from four to six digits. The impact of this change on current registrants will be minimal in that existing PINs will not change other than being reissued with ‘00’ before it, e.g. 00XXXX. 
All new PINs issued from January 2012 will be in the six-digit format.

Annual Renewal Dates

Registration dates are to be annualised at each level on the register. Common registration renewal dates are proposed as follows:

• EMT – July
• Paramedic – April
• Advanced Paramedic – September

Online Registration Renewal

An online registration renewal system is being developed to make initial registration easier and faster and to facilitate registrants in managing their own details directly. Planned rollout for this is 2012.

Following consultation, these three developments will be implemented in tandem with each other.

Consultation Feedback

All practitioners are invited to give feedback on these proposals on Surveymonkey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/jxms2tm by 8th December
