Event Medical Services

Event organisers are increasingly recognising the need to employ high quality medical services to mitigate the risk to event participants and the general public and to minimise the effect of their event on local NHS resources.

We are able to provide event medical services from basic first aid to ambulance services and a complete field medical centre. Our experience includes major sporting events, equestrian competitions, motor sport, concerts and cultural events, music festivals, air shows and corporate functions.

Our staff come from a variety of backgrounds and include paramedics, nurses, doctors, emergency medical technicians and first aiders. Our staff hold recognised qualifications and receive extensive training in emergency pre-hospital care and public first aid. They are DBS checked, fully insured and will be identifiable by their Remote Medic UK identity card. We are one of the first organisations in the UK to clearly identify our staff according to their Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) skills level, proposed by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

For larger and more complex events, we will work with the event organising team to produce a comprehensive medical risk assessment and develop an event medical plan specific to the event and the participants. We have senior staff who are trained in emergency planning and qualified in medical incident command by the National Ambulance Resilience Unit (NARU).

We deliver our service with the minimum of drama and maintain a relatively low profile at events until we are needed. One of our primary goals at large events is to provide a see-and-treat service to manage all but the most serious emergencies entirely on-site, allowing people to receive the treatment they need whilst remaining at the event. This is better for the patient and their family, better for the event organiser, better for local ambulance and hospital services and better for the general public as it also reduces the need for an emergency ambulance response. Our approach to medical service delivery is not only beneficial at large events but also at corporate functions and for film and television work, where we can significantly enhance the delivery of the project.

At the conclusion of the event, we provide the event organiser with an activity report summarising the number and types of injury/illness seen and the outcome of treatment. Such data are useful for both legal reporting purposes and for future event planning.

We have a proven ability to manage the medical provision for a wide range of events, both large and small. We aim to provide a prompt response to enquiries and a thoroughly professional service.
