Not all event medical cover is the same.

Before booking any provider, organisers should always ask:

✔ Who is responsible for the medical plan?
✔ What level of staff are being provided?
✔ What happens in a serious incident?
✔ Is everything documented properly?

Having someone on site is one thing—
being properly prepared is what keeps your event safe.

🚑 What a fantastic weekend in Newton Abbot at MaltingsFest! 🎉

Event Medical Solutions SW CIC were proud to provide medical cover throughout the event, supporting organisers, performers, and festival-goers across an incredibly busy but rewarding weekend.

The atmosphere in Newton Abbot was amazing from start to finish — full of energy, community spirit, and brilliant entertainment. It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves safely and making the most of everything the festival had to offer.

A huge thank you goes to the organisers for putting together such a well-run event, and to all staff, volunteers, and partner agencies who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly.

We’re always proud to support events like MaltingsFest and play our part in keeping communities safe while they enjoy days like this. Already looking forward to returning next year! 🚑

We’ve recently become aware of a growing trend of event medical cover being offered free of charge, particularly across the South West.

At Event Medical Solutions SW CIC, we want to be clear — this is not a practice we will be taking part in.

Providing safe, effective, and fully compliant medical cover requires appropriately qualified clinicians, regulated equipment, insurance, and strong clinical governance. These are essential standards that ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone attending an event.

As a Community Interest Company, we are committed to maintaining standards, accountability, and sustainability in everything we do. We believe these should never be compromised.

We encourage event organisers across the South West to carefully consider what sits behind a “free” service, and whether it meets the level of care and responsibility their event requires.

Event Medical Solutions SW CIC will continue to provide professional, reliable, and properly resourced medical cover that our clients and communities can trust.

⏰ Early Start
Our day begins long before the event starts. Equipment is checked, vehicles are prepared, and every detail is reviewed—because being ready is everything.

We arrive on-site early to assess the environment, identify potential risks, and coordinate with event organisers. From access points to emergency plans, nothing is left to chance.

Every medic is fully equipped and briefed. Communication is key, so we make sure everyone knows their role and how to respond if needed.

⚽ During the Event
While everyone else enjoys the day, we stay alert. From treating minor injuries to responding quickly in emergencies, our focus is always on keeping people safe.

🤝 Supporting the Community
We’re proud to be part of local events across Devon—supporting organisers, participants, and spectators alike.

🏁 After the Event
Once the event finishes, our job isn’t over. Equipment is checked, reports are completed, and we review the day to keep improving what we do.

⚡ AED USE & CPR IN THE UK – COULD YOU SAVE A LIFE? ⚡

Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any time. Acting quickly with CPR and an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can more than double a person’s chance of survival.

Here’s what you need to know 👇

🫀 What is an AED?
An AED is a simple, life-saving device designed to be used by anyone. It analyses the heart’s rhythm and will only deliver a shock if it is necessary. Clear voice prompts guide you through each step.

📍 Where are they located?
AEDs are widely available in public places, including:
🏫 Schools
🏢 Workplaces
🛍️ Shopping centres
🚉 Transport hubs
🏋️ Leisure facilities

---

🚨 What to do in an emergency 🚨

1️⃣ Call 999 immediately
2️⃣ Start CPR
3️⃣ Ask someone to locate the nearest AED
4️⃣ Turn it on and follow the instructions

---

🙋 Do you need training?
No — you do not need formal training to help. Both the NHS and British Heart Foundation encourage members of the public to take action.

If you are untrained:
✔️ Push hard and fast in the centre of the chest
✔️ Aim for 100–120 compressions per minute
✔️ Hands-only CPR is effective

Emergency call handlers will guide you through what to do.

---

⚡ Using an AED
AEDs are designed for public use:
✔️ They provide clear, step-by-step instructions
✔️ They are safe to use
✔️ They will only deliver a shock if required

---

👥 Why it matters
Early CPR and defibrillation can significantly increase survival rates. Taking action — even without training — can save a life.

---

💡 Top tip
Take a moment today to identify the nearest AED in your workplace or community.

Preparedness saves lives.
