# Andy Newton Cloud Consultancy Ltd

Andy Newton Cloud Consultancy Ltd, based in Stamford, is a specialist consultancy led by Dr Andy Newton, the UK's first Consultant Paramedic and former Chair of the College of Paramedics. The firm provides expert guidance to healthcare organisations, legal practitioners, and regulatory bodies navigating complex issues within pre-hospital care and paramedic practice.

The consultancy serves solicitors, barristers, NHS trusts, ambulance services, educational institutions, and regulatory bodies requiring specialist expertise in paramedic standards, clinical governance, and professional regulation. Their primary offering is expert witness services, where Dr Newton draws on over 15 years of experience providing testimony in legal proceedings involving paramedic practice and healthcare delivery.

What distinguishes Andy Newton Cloud Consultancy is Dr Newton's uniquely authoritative standing within the sector. He contributed to the HCPC Standards of Proficiency for paramedics, served seven years on JRCALC (the Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee), and currently chairs the Health Practice Associates Council, the non-statutory register overseeing pre-hospital clinicians. His background spans 11 years in NHS director-level positions combined with consultant paramedic roles, ambulance service experience, and education sector expertise.

This combination of clinical credibility, regulatory influence, and forensic experience positions the consultancy as a trusted authority capable of providing evidence-based opinions on paramedic competency, clinical decision-making, and adherence to professional standards in complex litigation and regulatory matters.
