  • Paramedic Regulators in PEI and NB Sign Important Agreement The Paramedic Association of New Brunswick (PANB) is excited to announce the signing of an important collaborative Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the government of Prince Edward Island (PEI), Emergency Medical Board (EMS Board). Under the MOU, paramedic regulators in NB and PEI have committed to collaborating and reducing professional paramedic regulatory barriers and to: 1. Facilitate the cross-jurisdictional recognition of already licensed paramedics so that they may more easily become temporarily or provisionally registered in the other province. 2. Collaborate and share paramedic student information and data. Manage circumstances where paramedic care is initiated in one province and extend to the other province. 3. Rapidly coordinate the cross-jurisdictional regulation of paramedics in cases of emergency, disasters, or multi-casualty incidents. 4. Share information when processing regulated paramedics complaint investigations, where a paramedic holds dual licensure in both NB and PEI. While the establishment of this agreement does not eliminate each agency’s provincial responsibilities and obligations to regulate paramedic practice in best interest of the public, this agreement serves as a major collaborative advancement for the profession and its ability to understand, address, and mitigate the paramedic shortage in both jurisdictions. Through this MOU, already credentialed PEI paramedics will now also be able to easily access the new streamlined PANB registration pathway if they wish to become professionally registered and practice in NB on a part-time or casual basis. Associated Quote(s): “The government of New Brunswick is committed to reducing barriers for qualified health professionals. We’re pleased this agreement recognizes the similarities in training, know-how, and responsibilities of paramedics in this province and Prince Edward Island. It’s also a testament to the close and important relationship we share with our neighbours on the Island,” said New Brunswick Health Minister Bruce Fitch. “With the establishment of the Fair Registration Practices in Regulated Professions Act, we have challenged New Brunswick’s regulatory bodies to make it easier for professionals from outside the province to become registered to work here,” said Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour Minister Greg Turner. “This agreement supports this goal, and we appreciate the work of the PANB to put this in place.” “This agreement demonstrates the important power of collaborative work in the best interest of right-touch regulation and public interest protection. In simple terms, this agreement ensures that a collaborative framework exists for sharing finite #paramedic resources and demonstrates that paramedic regulatory agencies can be nimble, responsive, and part of the solution” - says Chris Hood, Executive Director, PANB Media Contact: Chris Hood (chris.hood@panb.ca)
