Who we helpEvent first aid that keeps the public safe
Event first aid services from EDMS Medical. Safe from harm. Evidence-based care. Governance you can rely on.
A medical provider’s first job is simple: keep the public and patients safe from harm. That means high standards of evidence-based care, robust clinical governance and standards built around public safety.
Public safety
Here’s how EDMS delivers it, every time.
- 1
Senior leadership
Senior doctors and paramedics lead and manage everything we do. Our teams are led by a consultant or specialist grade doctor, fully GMC registered, trained and experienced in event medicine, and skilled in advanced care for adults and children. And only experienced doctors and advanced paramedics decide to avoid a hospital transfer.
- 2
Qualified commanders
Every tactical (silver) commander has completed the full tactical commander course set by the National Ambulance Resilience Unit (NARU). Anyone not trained to that standard DOES NOT manage our services at large events.
- 3
Safer recruitment
Every medical, paramedic, nursing, ambulance and response role follows the NHS safer recruitment model. We check qualifications, fitness to practise, police and DBS records and identity. EDMS NEVER recruits or uses staff who advertise on social media.
- 4
Event-specific training
Our staff train for the specific needs of music, festival and event medicine: crowd extrication, PIT working, drug and alcohol care, mental health and working safely.
- 5
Care, constantly reviewed
Audit, care record review, protocols and guidelines, referral pathways, risk, incident and concern management – and a duty of candour.
- 6
A positive experience
Everyone attending your event who meets our team gets a very high standard of care, with minimal disruption.
- 7
Kit you can trust
Equipment, consumables, medicines, vehicles and kit are all bought new, fully serviced every year and checked regularly.
