🚨 Did you know the Purple Guide for Event Medical Services was updated in December 2025? 🚨
The latest update places a much stronger focus on carrying out a thorough Medical Needs Assessment to determine the right level of medical cover for your event — not guesswork, not “what we did last year”, but evidence-led, risk-based planning.
A robust medical needs assessment isn’t just best practice — it’s now central to compliance with the Purple Guide and essential for protecting attendees, staff, and organisers.
We provide professional, relevant guide–aligned Medical Needs Assessments for:
🎪 Festivals & live events
🏇 Sporting & equestrian events
🎄 Community & council events
🎤 Night-time economy & licensed venues
Whether you already have a provider or are planning a new event, we can:
🔹 Independently assess your event
🔹 Advise on appropriate medical & welfare cover
🔹 Support SAG, licensing & local authority submissions
🔹 Help you avoid over- or under-provision
Full FREE training provided if you’re new to the industry.
