French SAMU Professional Medical Regulation Assistants
In France there is a SAMU where in each capital town hospital there is the Regulator Medical Center of the French county (Département) EMS. This central hub "regulates" all the Emergency care resources of the area from Firefighters and First Aid EMT vehicles to Hospital Medicalized ground or helicoptered MICUs, but also Hospital Emergency Wards, Intensive care Units, GP and Private basic Ambulances on call. This is more than anglosaxon EMS and could be called IEMS (Integrated Emergency Medical System). The Medical Doctor Regulator has a team of assistants called PARM and recently defined by French Public Health Ministry as medical care paraprofessionals .
