Amlwch Music Concert

Do you need medical cover?

They are held in various sized venues, from smaller, more intimate locations, to large arenas/stadiums that are able to accommodate tens of thousands of people at each event. Music Concerts are an excellent way of drawing in the crowds, temporarily increasing the population of the location in which they are being held. However, increased numbers, along with additional risk factors that are associated with any event, unfortunately, also cause the potential risk of individuals becoming ill, or sustaining an injury during their visit, to increase, and whilst some injuries may be minor and easily treatable, others may require urgent medical assessment and treatment, in order to stabilise the patient and reduce further complications.

We must, sadly, also remember the tragic Manchester Arena bombing in 2017, where 23 people were killed and many more injured; although this is hoped by all to be an isolated incident, the potential risk cannot be ignored by organisers planning similar events in the future. 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.

Planning

Should you, as a client wish to proceed with that quote, we can also assist in the planning of your event by attending SAG meetings if required and by completing a finalised medical risk assessment and medical plan, to ensure your event is resourced accurately and is in line with the latest Health & Safety regulations and Purple Guide recommendations. We fully understand that plans can change; activities are often added as an event progresses and so a re-evaluation of the risk assessment may be required at some point. This is no problem at all; we will work with you in making any amendments needed to ensure that medical cover is, once again, suitable to your needs. This may result in the level of resources being altered, which may also cause an alteration to the original cost, however, this will be discussed fully with you and confirmed at the time.
