Medical Service Tips for Event Organizers

• In environments of limited health care resources, the sooner an injured or ill person is treated, the better chance of their recovery.

• Medical services should be provided for the entire event, including setup, and breakdown of the event if it is a large scale or dangerous operation.

• Medical services may also be needed for attendees queuing to get in and out of the event. e If the event is multi-day with attendees camping overnight, you may need around the clock medical services.

• The medical team needs to be located carefully throughout your event to ensure response times are minimized.

• Provide information about the location of medical facilities to attendees. Use signs and print the information on any maps, websites, or other materials.

• All event staff should be aware of the closest medical team to them

• External resources including municipal paramedics, fire department, police and other resources need clear access in and out of the venue, especially a direct route to the on-site medical services.

• Large crowds or difficult to access events may require medics on foot, utility response vehicles, and bike response teams in order for timely access and transport to the on-site medical facility

• Know the difference between first aid and medical services and the impact it may have onsomeones survival and quality of care received at your event.
