EVENT MEDICAL CONSULTANCY

Our consultancy service begins with a detailed risk assessment. This process involves a thorough review of the event location, expected number of attendees, the nature of activities and any potential medical hazards. We provide clear, evidence-based recommendations on the level of medical provision required, considering factors such as: 

• Crowd density and movement patterns 
• Environmental conditions and their impact on health (e.g. weather, accessibility) 
• Event-specific risks (e.g. physical activities, the use of machinery or chemicals, medical conditions within the crowd)
• Emergency access points and logistical planning

By identifying potential risk early on we help you establish a comprehensive medical strategy that enhances attendee safety and aligns with industry standards.

Following the initial assessment our team will collaborate with you to develop a bespoke medical response plan tailored to your event's specific needs. Our plans cover all aspects of event medical provision including: 

• Emergency Medical Team Staffing: Based on the risk assessment we will recommend the appropriate number and skill grade of staff, from doctors and advanced clinical practitioners to paramedics and first responders.
• Medical Equipment and Facilities: We ensure that all necessary medical equipment is available on-site, from basic first aid kits to advanced trauma care tools. Our team will assist with the identification of suitable locations for medical facilities including first aid stations, triage areas and resuscitation zones.
• Communication and Coordination: Our consultancy services also include establishing effective communication channels between event staff, security and medical teams. This ensures that medical assistance can be mobilised quickly and efficiently when required. 
• Event Specific Protocols: Depending on the nature of event we can provide tailored protocols for managing specific medical issues, such as heatstroke at outdoor events, handling acute injuries at sporting events or managing panic attacks in large crowd gatherings.

Our consultancy service also helps ensure that your event complies with all relevant health and safety regulations, local authority guidelines, and industry best practices. We are well-versed in the legal requirements for medical provision at events, including risk management plans, health and safety legislation and insurance requirements. Our expert advice will help you navigate these complex regulations, ensuring that your event adheres to both legal and ethical standards.

As part of our consultancy, we offer bespoke training solutions for your event staff, security personnel and volunteers. This training can cover a wide range of topics, from basic first aid and CPR to advanced trauma care procedures. Providing training to key event personnel ensures that they are fully prepared to respond to any medical emergencies that may arise.

Our consultancy service extends beyond the planning phase. We offer on-site support during the event to ensure the effective delivery of medical care. Should an emergency arise, our team is ready to assist, providing immediate intervention and liaising with local emergency services as necessary. After the event, we conduct a thorough review, providing feedback and recommendations for continuous improvement for future events.
