MET Medical, one of the UK’s premier event medical providers, is excited to be returning to the Showman’s Show this year. The Showman’s Show is an outdoor event industry exhibition where those from the industry can meet suppliers. The show usually has around 300 exhibitors enabling event organisers to find everything they need in one day! MET Medical have supported the exhibition for a number of years and will be back again for 2024. The show takes place at Newbury Showground on 23 & 24 October 2024.

Renowned for offering medical cover at a wide range of events—from county shows to major music festivals and sporting events—MET Medical’s strength lies in its highly qualified workforce. Our large team of full-time employees undergoes continuous training and development, supported by our diverse operations which include NHS services like 999 ambulance responses and private healthcare provisions.

We’ll be sharing some of the changes and improvements that we have made over the last year; for example, we launched a new private urgent care service that offers rapid response to medical issues at home. This service includes consultant referrals, imaging or scan referrals, stitches, prescriptions, and blood and urine tests. Over the summer, we integrated advancements from our Urgent Care service into many of the UK’s leading music festivals, providing electronic prescriptions, onsite blood tests with advanced analysis, and private hospital conveyances, thereby reducing the burden on the NHS.

With 1 in 6 people now having health insurance and many opting to self-pay to avoid long waiting lists, there is a growing demand for alternatives to NHS care, especially at events. MET Medical stands out as the only private ambulance service in the UK with pre-agreed direct referral pathways to leading private hospitals, offering inpatient care and access to over 140 private intensive care beds.

We’re also now offering concierge services at events to artists, crew, and VIPs on a pay-per-use or pre-paid basis. This even includes popular vitamin and hydration infusions frequently requested on artist riders.
