Why EDMS

Ten reasons. One standard.

  • Scale, covered

    A large team of senior doctors, advanced paramedics, nurses, ambulance crews and event first responders, for the smallest events to the largest. We’ve run medical provision on sites with well over 100K attenders. And no made-up job titles – so everyone knows exactly who is caring for them.

  • Recruited properly

    Never from social media. Every member of staff has full enhanced DBS, reference, right to work, police and ID checks, plus certification and registration checks where needed. Then induction and mandatory training, including level 3 safeguarding adults and vulnerable children, PREVENT and Mental Capacity Act.

  • One stop. No subcontracting.

    Field hospital, first aid points, ambulance, buggy response, PIT teams, crowd extrication, drug and alcohol support, dispensing, mental health, planning, data collection, medical command and control, and post-event reporting. All from us.

  • Equipment that’s ready

    An unsurpassed range, bought new – never second hand. Commissioned, serviced annually and safety checked. And every item, consumables included, checked weekly so it’s in date and ready to go.

  • Fully registered. Fully covered.

    Licensed, registered and insured across the board. See the full list below.

  • Senior doctors in charge

    They oversee all clinical activity, audit every patient care record and lead clinical practice and policy. Our whole leadership team works full time in the NHS – and brings those standards to EDMS.

  • The whole package

    Care for your public, and for artists, contractors, production teams, vendors and the area immediately around your event.

  • Fewer hospital transfers

    Our safe, effective clinical processes handle a huge range of issues on site. When needed, we refer directly to NHS specialist teams instead of sending people to an emergency department.

  • We speak music industry

    We understand what clients, artists and the public need – and balance it with compliance and safety. We collaborate, advise, adapt and deliver.

  • Not for profit

    Our focus is safe, effective care – not profits for shareholders. So our pricing stays competitive, we adapt to the industry, and we keep growing as an organisation.
