Event Medical Services
Event Medical Cover.
Do you require first aid or medical cover for your event? One-off events, regular events or weekly cover at your venue, we have it covered.
We tailor cover to your event, with the person you deal with during booking being the person you work with during the planning phase, and generally part of the team on the day, which most companies cannot offer. We are a small team and offer a personal level of cover with absolute reliability.
We offer specialist cover: staff trained in administering pain-relieving gases, ideal for high-risk sporting events, and nightclub medics trained to provide life-saving care, enhanced patient assessment and welfare services to events with anticipated alcohol and/or drug use.
We can fully equip treatment areas to a very high clinical standard within your venue, or supply our own medical post to outdoor events, with segregated bedded treatment areas and a minor injuries room.

What sets us apart.
Our staff are among the highest trained in the industry and incredibly passionate about what they do. We believe it is dangerous to clients and patients for providers to cover high-risk events or environments without the right level of competence, experience and equipment, for example, providing basic first aid cover to clubs and dance events with no training or awareness in alcohol and recreational drug use, and without the ability to fully assess and monitor patients. Ever more common life-threatening conditions such as serotonin toxicity can often be prevented from deteriorating by nightclub medics through knowledgeable welfare and rapid, effective, non-judgemental assessment and treatment.
Every event is different. Some require a completely different level of service and skill; many require specialist experience with that specific type of event and the injuries you would expect from it. This is what sets us apart.

Sports.
We have specialist first aiders, responders and EMTs for sports events, particularly experienced in the management of sports injuries, soft tissue injuries, skeletal injuries, spinal immobilisation, pain relief and wound care. We tailor cover to specific types of event, such as our enhanced first responders trained in administering pain-relieving gases, recommended for cycle races, running, athletics, gymnastics and martial arts. We provide one-time, ad-hoc and contracted long-term cover, from the Tour de France 2014 to a charity Channel swim from Dover to Calais and endurance events across Loch Lomond and Scotland.
TV & film.
Our highly trained first responders and EMTs are ideal for set medical cover, letting production and venue staff focus solely on their role with the reassurance of a fully equipped professional at hand. We provide cover to one-off productions as well as long-term and remote cover nationwide and abroad, and have worked with a variety of high-profile productions with ITV, Channel 4 and the BBC, including Robot Wars.
Remote & maritime.
We provide specialist staff experienced in remote and maritime conditions, whether sporting, TV & film, or team medics for CP operatives. Many of our EMTs hold additional skills such as water rescue, sea survival and safety boat operation, ideal for crewing club rescue boats at regattas and covering water-based events. We recently covered over 60 athletes swimming and running over 30km across Loch Lomond's islands, and six relay teams swimming the Channel from Dover to Calais.
Frequently asked questions.
How many first aiders does my event need?
It depends on your event: the capacity, the activities, the audience profile and the risks involved. We carry out a full risk assessment and produce an event medical plan to determine the right level of cover for your licensing requirements and the safety of your patrons.
Do you cover small community events?
Yes. We cover everything from gala days, school sports days and charity events up to Scotland's biggest concerts and festivals, and we never cancel a smaller event for a new, larger booking.
Can you provide regular weekly cover for a venue?
Yes. We provide one-off event cover, regular events and contracted weekly cover at venues. Where needed, we can equip treatment areas within your venue to a high clinical standard, or supply our own medical post for outdoor events.
