Event management can be a complex affair, especially where large crowds of people are expected for multi-day attractions, entertainment and sporting activities.
One thing it’s essential to get right is effective medical support to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all those attending, in line with UK legislation. These responsibilities apply to all kinds of events, such as a rugby tournament, a cycling race, an organised running race, an equestrian event, a country show, horse racing fixtures, a festival or a film shoot.
And before you arrange your event medical cover, you’ll need to produce a thorough medical plan and risk assessment.
As one of the UK’s leading providers of event medical support, we can ease this burden for you by undertaking an assessment, creating a comprehensive plan, and supplying all aspects of medical cover that your event requires.
As an industry leader, we are fully insured and registered with the Care Quality Commission, and our clients return to us time and again because we consistently give them the best possible quality of service, and are always responsive, flexible and professional.

Racecourses
As the UK’s leading supplier of medical risk and planning assessments and medical support for horse races around the country, and providing paramedic services to every Racecourse in Scotland, we have amassed unparalleled experience in providing first-line healthcare at racecourses. Our paramedic teams work alongside racecourse doctors, crewing 4x4 ambulances equipped to BHA standards.
Equestrian
As well as covering racecourses across the country, Medics UK also provides top-class medical support to British Eventing equestrian fixtures. Our highly skilled paramedic teams, using state-of-the art ambulances and equipment, are capable of reaching an injured rider within one minute and provide the best possible pre-hospital care.
Sports
Rugby, football, cricket, athletics, marathons… whatever the sport, we promise we’re able to support your event, however large, with both risk assessment and planning and on-the-day medical cover. Whether it’s at a sports ground, out on the road or deep in the countryside,
we’ll assess your needs and supply all the appropriate medics and top-class equipment to ensure you’re fully compliant with legal requirements, and give competitors and spectators access to rapid-response healthcare.
Motorsport
The high-speed world of motorsport can sometimes involve spills as well as thrills, but we’re pleased to say we can provide you with Motor Sport Association-registered paramedic crews operating fully equipped ambulances. Rallies, speedway, motorcycle racing… we’ve got your back on all forms of motorsport and have years of experience supporting these events across the UK.
Cycling
Cycling races – both road and mountain bike – might not involve motors, but the risks of injury to competitors remains high as many such events inevitably feature crashes involving multiple participants. While the mechanics take care of the broken bikes, our capable paramedics can quickly reach any injured athletes via our ‘cycle responders’ or our 4x4 ambulances. And with experience including supporting the Tour de France – the world’s premier bike race – as well as the UK’s Tour de Yorkshire, there’s no cycling event too large or too long for us to cover
Agricultural/country shows
From heatstroke to animal bites, we’ve got you covered. Agricultural and country shows can attract thousands of visitors and it’s essential to provide a high level of care, whether you need a fully staffed medical centre with A&E doctors or roving first-aid technicians and paramedics. Whatever the size of your show, and whether it’s for an afternoon or a full week, we can conduct a comprehensive medical plan and risk assessment and supply however much medical support you need.
Festivals
Pop-up medical centres with experienced doctors and nurses, minor injuries units, rapid-response emergency vehicles crewed by paramedics, and cool chill-out spaces – whatever your festival, gig, concert or performance requires, we provide the best quality frontline medical care on-site. Plus, we can visit your site in advance to deliver a medical plan and risk assessment and ensure you tick all the boxes for medical cover on the big day.
Film/TV
Film sets, TV studios, music video shoots and advertisement recordings all require a ‘set medic’. We are well versed with the filming drill and, with experience including the Brideshead Revisited film under our belts, we are more than suitably equipped to provide professional first aiders, paramedics and ambulances to fit the scale of your production.
“The team continually demonstrate exceptional commitment and we have full confidence in the capabilities of Medics UK, their equipment, their people and the overall quality of their service.”
