Event medical cover
Whether you’re organising a small community gathering or a large-scale festival, St John Ambulance Cymru can provide professional medical cover to keep your event safe and compliant.
Event organisers have a responsibility to plan for the safety of attendees, staff, and performers. Having the right first aid and medical support in place not only meets legal and insurance requirements, but also gives peace of mind that help is on hand if anything goes wrong.

We tailor our medical cover to suit your event, ensuring the right people and equipment are in place. Depending on the size and risk level of your event, we can provide:
- Expert Event Planning & Resource Assessment

- Fully qualified volunteers and staff
- Modern Equipment
- Quality Assurance
Our teams are experienced in working alongside other emergency services and event staff to deliver a smooth, professional service.

- Frontline Ambulances
- Rapid Response Vehicles
- Off-Road 4×4 Vehicles

Who will be attending the event?
