About Film & Events Medical Services

Professional medical support, wherever it is needed.

Who we are

Film & Events Medical Services Ltd provides professional medical, ambulance and welfare support for film and television productions, events, organisations and specialist projects throughout the United Kingdom. The company was established by people who have worked on both sides of the fence — in NHS and independent ambulance operations, and on live production units — and who wanted medical provision that is planned to the activity rather than sold from a price list.

We work to a simple principle: the medical resource on site should reflect the risk that is actually present. That means understanding the schedule, the stunts, the crowd, the terrain, the weather and the distance to definitive care before anyone quotes a number of crews.

Our services

We provide medical cover for film and television, medical provision for public and private events, on-site treatment centres, medical staffing supplied to third parties, and the dry hire of professionally maintained vehicles.

Experienced clinical professionals

Our personnel are drawn from NHS ambulance services, emergency departments, primary care, the independent ambulance sector and event medicine. Every clinician deployed works within a defined and verified scope of practice, appropriate to their qualification and professional registration.

• First Responders
• Emergency Care Assistants
• Emergency Medical Technicians
• Registered Nurses
• HCPC-registered Paramedics
• Doctors
• Specialist clinicians
• Welfare personnel

Film and television medical support

Production sets are working environments with their own hazards: long hours, night shoots, height, water, vehicles, pyrotechnics, animals and choreographed action. Our teams work quietly alongside the unit, integrate with the assistant directors and health and safety leads, and stay out of frame.

Event medical provision

From community fun days to multi-day festivals, our event provision is built from a written medical plan: expected attendance, demographic, the nature of the activity, alcohol and drug risk, weather exposure, access and egress routes, and escalation arrangements with the statutory services.

Our vehicles and equipment

Vehicles are maintained on a planned schedule, checked before every deployment and cleaned to a documented standard. Clinical equipment is inventoried, calibrated where applicable, and subject to expiry and defect checks.

Quality, safety and governance

We operate a governance framework covering clinical practice, safeguarding, infection prevention and control, medicines management, incident reporting, complaints and the Duty of Candour. Our public governance information is published in full so that clients and patients can see how the organisation holds itself to account.

Our commitment to clients

You will receive a written medical plan, a named point of contact, personnel who arrive when they said they would, and a post-deployment report. Where something does not go to plan, we will tell you.

Nationwide medical coverage

We are based at Three Mills Studios in East London and deploy across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Travel, accommodation and standby arrangements are agreed in advance and set out in the quotation.

Our mission

To deliver medical provision that is proportionate, clinically sound and unobtrusive — so that productions and events can run safely, and so that anyone who needs care receives it promptly and with dignity.
