Abstract
The paramedic profession has exceptionally high rates of anxiety, suicide and work-related stress together with a disproportionate number of fitness to practise (FtP) referrals to the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). In order to help ameliorate additional stressors for those subject to FtP proceedings, a Peer Support programme was co-created by a small group of Paramedics in which, following comprehensive training and with formal clinical oversight and regular supervision, low-level psychosocial support would be offered to Registrants. This chapter documents the rationale and context underpinning group creation, along with the experiences and motivations of those involved.
