MEDICAL, AMBULANCE & FIRST AID MANAGEMENT

PRE-EVENT MEDICAL RISK ASSESSMENT

What is an Event Medical Services Calculator ?


Event planning can be a daunting task & many event organisers are unsure of the level of medical services they require. 
How many medical staff do we need?’ and ‘Do we need an ambulance?’ are common questions that event organisers have but don’t have the answers to.

Complete this questionaire, submit the result to us and we may be able to clear up any questions. 
These questions  have been developed by the HSE who have published the Purple Guide to help event organisers ensure they are suitably covered.

Please answer the questions honestly and acurately.
We will collate the results and provide you with a  quote for appropriate and compliant medical cover.
 
* It is important to remember the definition of an Ambulance, is a vehicle used to transport patients to hospital when required and so your provider MUST be registered with the Care Quality Commission.  The Health and Safety Executive also stress that Ambulances should not be used as a treatment centre/area.

What we consider when calculating your scoreThe Purple Guide was created to ensure that you have an adequate level of medical support at your event. It is important to note that the current guide is considered somewhat confusing in that it suggests that if an event operates over one day, it must fall into a Tier 3 category .However, if your event has a capacity of less than 500 people at any one time and overnight camping over 3 days, then it falls into both a Tier 1 and Tier 3 category. Because of this inconsistency, some ambulance services have opted to consider the old scoring system for some events. Please also note that the guide is updated on a regular basis and we try to keep this information as current as possible, this information is only as current as the date it is published.
By taking both calculators into account,we can provide you with the best advice and you, as an event organiser will be in a better position to decide on the most appropriate level of cover for your event.If you need any further assistance in planning your event and/or resources, get in touch with our team who will be more than happy to assist.
