MET Medical's festival medical cover in London provides comprehensive healthcare services tailored to the unique needs of event attendees. Our location just 35 minutes from central London enables us to deliver medical cover for events and music festivals often without incurring thousands of pounds worth of hotel expenses, meaning we offer great value. We have a strong commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of festival-goers, MET Medical deploys a team of highly trained medical professionals equipped to handle a wide range of medical emergencies. We are used to working in and around London and are familiar with the venues, hospitals and referral pathways.

Our services encompass on-site medical tents strategically positioned throughout the festival grounds, staffed with experienced doctors, nurses, and paramedics. These medical stations are equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment and supplies, allowing for efficient assessment, treatment, and stabilisation of patients. We also supply our own road ambulances to convey patients to hospital should we be unable to cater for them in our state of the art field hospitals. Our teams are prepared to handle everything from minor injuries and illnesses to more serious medical emergencies, including dehydration, heat exhaustion, drug intoxication, and trauma cases.

But its not just the teams on the ground that are vital to our operation. Many event organisers will have been in the desperate position where calls for urgent medical assistance are coming into the event control room but this is not getting filtered onto the ground. We know that minutes matter and deploy a range of systems and experienced personnel to manage both the expected emergencies as well as staying calm and in control in the event of a major incident.

We achieve this by having experienced control room staff and managers. Our managers are all senior paramedics and used to attending emergencies, they have additional training in major incidents. All of our control staff come from an emergency control room background, some have worked in Police and others in Ambulance call-taking and then dispatch or management. This means they are used to understanding the seriousness of events and allocating the correct ambulance resources.

Experienced staff and training alone does not lead to a well-managed event. Large events are busy and on-site medical providers treat hundreds of patients each day. Managing those patients from the moment they call or someone calls on their behalf is vital. MET Medical has a state of the art dispatch software which even has geolocation via sms. This together with tracked radios means control staff can route the nearest available responders, paramedics and ambulances to the exact location of each first aid or medical incident.
