Challenging Decertification and Examination Rewrite Decisions Ontario’s paramedics are an integral part of our health care system. They provide emergency medical services in extremely demanding, often traumatic circumstances. But because of an unfair flaw in Ontario’s Ambulance Act, paramedics could easily be stripped of their ability to practice. Paramedics are highly regulated. They are required by law to have passed a qualifying exam, or hold equivalent qualifications. And they have to be certified by base hospital physicians to provide certain medical procedures. If the Ministry of Health requires a practicing paramedic to rewrite the qualifying exam or if the base hospital physician removes a paramedic’s certification, there is no fair, transparent and binding process of appeal for the paramedic. OPSEU paramedics are working to change the Regulation to the Ambulance Act to ensure that Ontario paramedics have access to a fair appeal process. You can help. Download our petition, sign it and have it signed by your co-workers, friends and family. Hand them in either to your OPSEU Local President, or to the closest OPSEU Regional Office, or to Moya Beall at OPSEU, 100 Lesmill Road, Toronto, Ontario M3B 3P8. Be part of our effort to bring about fairness for paramedics!
