❄️ Winter is here, and the colder months can bring extra health challenges!

Keep yourself and your loved ones safe with these tips:

• Dress in layers: Multiple thin layers trap heat better than one thick coat.
• Stay hydrated: Even when it’s cold, your body still needs fluids.
• Check on vulnerable neighbours: The elderly, very young, or those with medical conditions can be at risk.
• Carry essential medications: Make sure you have what you need if you’re out or travelling.
• Drive carefully: Icy roads increase stopping distances—take it slow!

Remember, small precautions go a long way in keeping winter illnesses and injuries at bay. Stay warm, stay safe, and look after each other this season!

Not all CQC registered event medical providers are the same.

When you see "CQC registered" on a proposal, you likely assume the paramedics can deliver full clinical care. That's a reasonable assumption. But it's often incorrect.

There are two distinct types of CQC registration for medical providers:

1. Transport Services Only – essentially medical transport. Can move stable patients but cannot treat them.

2. Treatment of Disease, Disorder & Injury (TDDi) – can treat patients, administer medications, deliver clinical care.

The problem: some providers operate with Transport-only registration while deploying paramedics with ambulances stocked with medications they're not legally authorised to use. This constitutes a Section 10 offence under the Health and Social Care Act 2008.

More critically: if something goes wrong, their insurance won't cover it. Which means you—the event organiser—could be left holding the liability.

When comparing proposals, ask directly: "What type of CQC registration do you hold?" Then verify it on the CQC website.

Because when someone needs life-saving intervention at your event, the price difference suddenly makes sense—but the risk difference is enormous.

Who's actually checking your medical provider?

Here's what keeps us up at night: event organisers are booking medical cover based on a single checkbox "Lowest Price" without knowing what that actually means.

The problem? There's no independent vetting process for event medical providers. No mandatory audits. No surprise inspections (until CQC gets involved). You're relying on references, insurance claims, and hope.

We've seen unqualified staff, struck-off clinicians, unvetted teams, and uninsured providers operating at events. And event organisers had no idea.

CQC registration is a start. But it's not enough on its own. You need to ask the right questions:
✅ Are they CQC registered for treatment (not just transport)?
✅ Can you see their latest inspection report?
✅ How do they recruit and vet staff?
✅ Are all staff DBS checked?
✅ Can they provide insurance evidence?
✅ What safeguarding policies are in place?

Your event's safety depends on it.

Who's actually checking your medical provider?

Event organisers often book medical cover based on a single criterion: "Lowest Price." But without understanding what that actually means, you're making a critical assumption.

The uncomfortable reality: there's no independent vetting process for event medical providers. No mandatory audits. No surprise inspections until CQC gets involved. You're relying on references, insurance claims, and hope.

We've encountered unqualified staff, struck-off clinicians, unvetted teams, and uninsured providers operating at events. Event organisers had no idea.

CQC registration is a baseline. But it's not sufficient on its own. You need to ask:

✓ Are they CQC registered for treatment (not just transport)?
✓ Can you see their latest CQC inspection report?
✓ How do they recruit and vet staff?
✓ Are all staff DBS checked?
✓ Can they provide insurance evidence?
✓ What safeguarding policies are in place?
✓ Can you speak to references from similar events?

Your duty of care to attendees depends on this due diligence.

Here's a question that should keep every event organiser awake at night: Is your event paramedic legally allowed to save lives?

The uncomfortable truth? Many aren't. And they might not even know it.

Event paramedics operate under strict legal frameworks. Without the right Patient Group Directions (PGDs) and clinical governance in place, they literally cannot administer life-saving medications, even when someone's life depends on it.

We're talking about asthma attacks, seizures, life threatening bleeds. The medications that work are locked behind legal requirements that not all providers meet.

This isn't about being difficult. It's about the difference between providers who cut corners and providers who do it right.

Your event deserves paramedics with proper clinical oversight, the right medications, and the legal authority to use them.

Is your event paramedic legally allowed to save lives?

This question should be central to every event organiser's procurement process. Yet most don't ask it.

Event paramedics operate within strict legal frameworks. Without appropriate Patient Group Directions (PGDs) and clinical governance structures, paramedics literally cannot administer life-saving medications—regardless of clinical need.

We're talking about asthma, seizures, major blood loss. The medications that work are locked behind legal requirements that not all providers meet.

The uncomfortable truth: some providers operate with Transport-only registration while deploying clinical staff with medications they're not legally authorised to use. This creates significant liability exposure for event organisers.

Your event deserves paramedics with:
✓ Proper clinical oversight and governance
✓ Legally authorised medication access
✓ CQC registration for Treatment of Disease, Disorder and Injury
✓ Professional indemnity insurance that covers clinical decision-making

This isn't about being difficult. It's about the difference between compliant providers and those cutting corners.

When a medical emergency hits your event, you need paramedics who can actually treat patients, not just transport them.

Here's the reality: emergencies WILL happen. Whether it's chest pain at a festival, acute behavioural disturbance at a club night, or a synthetic opioid overdose, your event medical team needs to be ready to intervene fast.

We've seen it all. And we know exactly what happens when you don't have the right cover in place.

That's why clinical governance, proper training, and CQC registration matter. Your attendees deserve paramedics who can deliver evidence-based care when seconds count.
