When you choose MET Medical, you benefit from a level of experience which is one of the highest in the industry. Lots of ‘TV medics only work in TV. They might deal with nothing for an entire series. They might have just done a course and never dealt with a real emergency. Where as one of our employees might have spent the last few days working on a 999 ambulance the week before at a music festival and the week before that on a TV set. That means they are more knowledgeable, up-to date and better equipped to help you.
