Operations

The guidelines are supposed to be produced from evidence-based medicine. However, organisations such as the College of Paramedics have criticised the committee for poor reference to available evidence in the past.[2]

JRCALC have produced a number of systematic reviews on various topics.[3] Available evidence is researched and discussed by a team of academics and clinicians including representatives from all UK ambulance services, and a number of medical disciplines.[citation needed] The Guidelines are produced by the JRCALC Guideline Development Group (JRCALC-GDG) hosted by the University of Warwick.[4]

Executive committee

Guideline Development Group members

The guideline development group relies upon the unpaid work of numerous clinicians to complete the systematic reviews to support the guidelines.[5]
