Do you need medical cover?
![Firework medical cover](/images/event_13.jpg)
While every care may be taken by the event organiser to reduce injury, there are certain factors that are difficult to eliminate altogether, such as debris carried in the air falling into the eyes, and burn injuries, either from the fireworks themselves, or from sparklers being handled incorrectly. Burn injuries in particular need to be assessed and treated as a matter of urgency in order for a patient to make as full a recovery as possible, however, it is well documented that the NHS ambulance service is often working at, if not above capacity, and even 999 calls cannot always be answered in a timely manner. For this reason, event safety guides now state that each event should ensure its own medical provision is in place, in order to cause as little disruption to the statutory services as possible, and this is where Medic 1 can step in to assist.
Our service
We are able to offer a bespoke service to Firework Display event organisers, taking away the stress and often time consuming hard work that is involved in organising medical provision at their event. Our experienced team know just the right questions to ask to ensure an accurate initial risk assessment is undertaken, which will then allow our clinical leads to determine the correct level of resources needed. This risk assessment takes a variety of factors into account, including the venue/location in which the event is being held, the predicted climate, additional activities being held, and also the event’s demographic. With our dedicated expert team on hand, we can produce a finalised quote within a very short space of time, and all at no cost to the client.

Post-event
Following on from your event, we are happy to attend any debrief meetings. We also provide you with a detailed medical report, including a comprehensive (anonymised) breakdown of the number of patients treated, the types of illnesses/injuries sustained throughout your event, and also any feedback and recommendations from the team who attended. This has proved to be very useful to organisers when planning similar events in the future.
