Yes, as an event organiser it is your legal requirement to ensure medical staff are present throughout the whole event no matter how small. However we would give you the best advice on the cover you need, We make sure your event is covered not only for injuries but also for requirements by law.
The organiser of any event has a duty of care to all people attending their event, The Health & Safety Executive stresses, just because a person has First Aid certification this does not qualify them as qualified to provide First Aid.
The Event Safety Guide states:
‘Plan the provision of medical, ambulance and first-aid services along with the statutory services and appoint a competent organisation to provide medical management’ and ‘First aiders, ambulance and medical workers should: have relevant experience or knowledge of requirements for first aid at major public duties’
We cover the whole of the UK and international.
Please contact our Events team at enquiries@rdmedicalsolutionslimited.co.uk if you’d like a quotation for any event’s you are holding no matter where it is.
We have £10,000,000 Hiscox insurance cover for public liability, medical malpractice and our ambulances are fully insured for use on any event.
The cost of medical cover for events depends upon staffing levels and the vehicles which are requested/required. We supply anything from a advance first aid medic to a full medical team with paramedics, nurses, doctors and ambulance staff.
we can calculate how many staff you require if you are unsure of this amount as we use the purple guide which provides lawful guidelines.
Most sporting events are governed by the regulating body which will specify the minimum first aid requirements. We risk assess every event and we would guide you accordingly. Outdoor events come under the umbrella of the purple guide which used to be published by the Health and safety Executive, but is now written and published by the Events Industry Forum. It’s a guide to safety at events and includes everything from security provision to medical.
we can calculate the amount of cover of trained staff you require for you as a free service during a free quotation for your event.
