Sports Medical Cover.

We have specialist first aiders, responders and EMTs for sports events, experienced in providing cover to a huge variety of events across Scotland. They are particularly experienced in the management of sports injuries, soft tissue injuries, skeletal injuries, spinal immobilisation, pain relief and wound care management.

We personally tailor cover to specific types of events, for example, our enhanced first responders trained in administering pain-relieving gases are recommended for most sporting events, particularly cycle races, running, athletics, gymnastics and martial arts.

We can provide one-time, ad-hoc and contracted long-term cover to sports organisations and venues. We've covered many sports events across the UK, from the Tour de France 2014, to a charity Channel swim from Dover to Calais, and endurance events across Loch Lomond and Scotland. Our remote and maritime specialists can crew rescue boats at regattas and cover water-based and remote land-based events.

“WCEMS supported us on a gruelling 12 day cycle challenge across the UK. We were provided with full medical cover and kit for our team of cyclists, as well as a support vehicle for the course of the event. During the time with us they proved to be conscientious, diligent and genuinely invested in the wellbeing and safety of the team; always taking questions and requests from the cyclists seriously. This instilled confidence and was thoroughly reassuring throughout. I would not hesitate to use the team again on a similar event.”
