HCPC registration with recommended at least 2 years post experience working in ambulance operations is essential. Although the HALO position is well established, the role continues to evolve.
As part of the local management team, HALOs are required to initiate staff welfare as required in addition to fulfilling many of the management functions required to maintain high levels of ambulance availability..
