ABOUT US
Experienced, Trusted Event Medical Services
West Coast EMS is one of Scotland’s most trusted and reliable providers of professional Event Medical Services to events and productions across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire and beyond.
Our team is made up of highly skilled and experienced professionals, combining decades of experience in event first aid and medical care with frontline roles within the NHS and Ambulance Services.
Whether it’s a small private gathering or a large capacity high-profile festival, we bring clinical expertise and a calm, capable presence to every event.
We tailor our services to the unique needs of each client - whether you need on-site medical teams, event ambulances or enhanced first aid cover. Our approach is responsive, discreet and safety focused; and always aligned with current national clinical guidelines.
As a dedicated and close-knit team, we take pride in delivering not just high standards of medical care, but also peace of mind. Our mission is simple: to keep people safe, supported, and treated with professionalism, respect, and dignity—whatever the scale or nature of the event.
At the heart of our service is a commitment to improving event safety for everyone involved. We go beyond basic compliance by delivering enhanced medical provisions that aim to reduce - if not eliminate - any potential strain on local NHS and emergency services.
We believe event medical support should never be just a checkbox. Each deployment is tailored to the specific needs of the event, with every team - no matter how small - staffed by highly skilled professionals operating with an enhanced clinical scope. This allows us to provide a higher standard of care directly on site.
Most of our team are current or former NHS or ambulance service professionals, bringing years of real world experience to every job. That added depth of knowledge makes a real difference in fast-moving situations, where calm decision making and clinical expertise are essential.
In addition to our medical team, We have Safeguarding for Event Level 5 Qualified staff with experience in Event Designated Safeguarding Lead roles, and several acting Health and Safety Officers. This gives us a greater understanding of the overall event safety picture and the ability to offer a fully integrated, safety-focused approach across every aspect of your event.
We uphold the highest standards of care, guided by national clinical protocols, and we are committed to treating all individuals with dignity, respect, and privacy.
