Event Medical Cover Explained

First aid, medical, ambulance and welfare cover – which one does your event need?
First aid vs medical cover
First aid is basic care delivered by trained first aiders. Event medical cover introduces clinicians who can administer medicines and manage emergencies on site.
When ambulances are required
Local authorities often require an on-site ambulance for events above 2,000-3,000 attendees, or with elevated risk.
Welfare and safe spaces
Welfare teams handle non-clinical vulnerability and free up medical resources for genuine clinical need.
