Event first aid

St John Ambulance have considerable experience in managing first aid cover at events large and small.  The following information may help you as the organiser or a member of the organising committee.

You will be responsible for what happens at the event so careful planning is of the utmost importance. You are advised to refer to The Event Safety Guide, commonly referred to as 'The Purple Guide', which can be found in your local library.

First aid at your event

The health and safety of all persons at an event - spectators, participants, workers and performers - must be considered and potential risks identified.

Some things to consider:

• What will happen in an emergency?
• Do the staff know what to do? 
• Are there routes for an emergency vehicle to use?
• Where will the public go?
• Is an evacuation necessary?
• What medical facilities are there?
• Are there good lines of communication?

To book

We advise that you give at least six weeks notice of your event.

You can contact us by emailing, calling 01869 255481 or by sending a fax to this number 01869 325447.
