JRCALC is the Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee.

The first meeting of JRCALC was in 1989 and was hosted by the Royal College of Physicians, London.

[citation needed] 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.

[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.
