This framework (HCPC, 2016) establishes what the expectations are for all UK‐registered paramedics specific to behaviour, public expectation and fitness to practise. The framework covers 10 specific areas of paramedic practice in relation to conduct, performance and ethics which in the context of this book can be applied to the specific area of medicines management as well as all other areas of a paramedic’s practice. These are:

 Communicate appropriately and effectively

 Work within the limits of your knowledge and skills

 Delegate appropriately

 Respect confidentiality

 Manage risk

 Report concerns about safety

 Be open when things go wrong

 Be honest and trustworthy

 Keep records of your work.

Specific drugs and examples of application to paramedic practice, as well as legal and professional issues, can be read and explored in the chapters that follow.
