What are event medical services?
Event medical services extend beyond first aid to include clinical decision making, prescription medicines, advanced airway management and the ability to manage cardiac, trauma and medical emergencies on site. They are typically required at higher-risk events.
Typical event medical staffing
Common roles include:
- Paramedics with advanced clinical skills
- Doctors (pre-hospital and emergency medicine)
- Nurses (urgent and emergency care)
- Emergency Medical Technicians
- Clinical leads and medical managers
When are event medical services required?
Events with elevated risk such as festivals, motorsport, combat sports, mass participation runs, large concerts and political demonstrations typically require medical-grade cover. Your event risk assessment, audience profile and licence conditions will determine the appropriate model.
