First Aid at Events

If you are currently organising an event you may have considered event security but have you given any attention to medical provision?

Events are being organised and attended all the time and on the whole they are enjoyed by all who attend them. However, it is important that event organisers prepare for all eventualities and this not only means security but also ensuring that sufficient medical provision is also onsite to help, if needed. In fact, it is the duty and obligation of the event organiser to ensure that adequate medical provision is at the venue.

In organising medical provision you will need to consider how many people you anticipate will attend the event and what type of venue the event is being held at. You will need to take into account any Risk Assessment that the event security company has undertaken and ensure that the provision you organise directly corresponds to the result of this Risk Assessment. You need to ensure that if something does go wrong during the event or if someone falls ill, that you have the correct amount of medical staff to be able to help.

Some pointers regarding first aid provision you might like to think about when organising the event include:

  • The presence of medical services will provide peace of mind to attendees and event staff alike
  • Book any medical services well in advance
  • Ensure that the Medical Services provider has a "Duty Order" detailing the operation of services for the event and a contingency plan for major incidents
  • If organising a large outdoor event consider using medical services which provide bicycle emergency response teams
