All staff who work for, or are subcontracted to work on behalf of, West Coast EMS are insured by ourselves and governed to their certificated skill level, PVG Scheme members, in-date with all certification, and undertake all mandatory training. Many work within the NHS in a variety of specialties, including frontline 999 clinicians.
Our staff can work independently or as part of a team, depending on the event's requirements, level of clinical skill required, risk assessments and capacity. We pride ourselves in equipping our staff to the highest standards regardless of the size of event, and our team come equipped with defibrillators at ALL events, no matter how small.
Competitive quotes.
Our costs are tailored to your event or venue and depend on the type of staff required, type and location of event, duration of cover, resources required and the risks involved. Contact us now for a quick and competitive quote.
Please note: we are not an ambulance/private ambulance service, nor do we replace statutory emergency services, and we do not transport patients to hospital. Should we deem A&E ambulances are required as part of the event medical provision following risk assessment, this will be stipulated with suggestions on competent providers (e.g. Scottish Ambulance Service).
