These are just some of the events we covered during 2024.

Sporting Events
No matter the size of your event, we can provide highly qualified staff who have a wealth of experience in providing medical cover for both small and large events. Whether its just a few First Responders or a whole team including Paramedics, Doctors and an Ambulance, you can be sure your event will run smoothly and legally.
For those events taking place near open water, we can also provide a fully trained water rescue medical team to support our 'dry' staff.
As an added bonus for organisers using our services, you can use our fully licensed 2-way radios completely free of charge during the event. (We only have one simple rule. If you break it or lose it, you buy it!)
Once you have instructed us to provide your medical cover, we will prepare an Event Medical Plan both for your files and to aid any pre-event discussions you have with your local Safety Advisory Group. This EMP will show in detail exactly what we are going to be doing for you, your staff and visitors.
All the work we do is undertaken in line with industry best practice, as well as working to the relevant sections (mainly Section 5) of The Purple Guide.
Following the endorsement by the Institute of Licensing Endorsement, of the Purple Guide as the go-to guidance for outdoor events, all organisers are actively encouraged to sign up.
