We’ve been shortlisted to the final two event medical cover providers for “Medical Supplier of the Year”. The award is made by the National Outdoor Events Association who are the UK’s leading trade association for the outdoor events industry.

We decided to join the National Outdoor Event Association and are now fully fledged members. MET Medical has rapidly become one of the leading choices for event medical and event first aid cover in the UK.

We have three main areas to our business. We provide first class medical cover to the events industry covering all events from small sporting fixtures to large festivals requiring field hospitals and multiple ambulances.

We are currently taking bookings for a busy summer period. Here’s a brief list of things which you can expect from MET!

MET Medical hires student paramedics once they have frontline 999 experience from placement with an NHS ambulance trust.

The North West Ambulance service are advising callers to only ring 999 for ‘real emergencies’

Near-record 999 calls in the West Midlands have led A&E units and the ambulance service to say they are “stretched to the limit”.

The NHS have announced plans to take on about 260 extra doctors in an effort to ease pressure on accident and emergency units in England, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said.

As a private ambulance service specialising in the provision of medical cover for the events industry we get a lot of calls from organisations all over the country.

Seventy-three year-old lady, Sonia Powell was taken to Morriston Hospital’s Accident & Emergency Unit in Swansea, South Wales, on Wednesday afternoon by emergency ambulance after a suspected heart attack.

We are often asked whether schools need medical cover for sports matches and other events. The basic guidance is that under health and safety regulations employers must ensure adequate cover is in place by carrying out a full medical risk assessment.

I often think about what is going through people’s minds as they consider a medical provider for their events. Gone are the days where organisers get 3 quotes and go with the cheapest.
