Around 350 outdoor event organisers gathered last week in London for the Festival Supplier Awards. Awards were presented for a host of industry staples including staging, crowd management, temporary structures, crew catering, crowd barriers and toilets, along with accolades for Best Green Supplier and Best Production Team.

It was reported yesterday that David Beckham spotted a cycle response paramedic in the street treating an elderly patient and then went off to buy them coffee.

Well we are off. 2016 has begun and we are already busy planning the safety of visitors to events all over the country this year.

We like being healthy. That’s why we do what we do. There’s been some recent research which is very interesting. It’s about how and when we eat.

We’re still taking bookings for event medical cover for corporate events and private parties over Christmas and New Year. If you are having an event over the winter and need first aid provision then get in touch with our team.

We’ve been shortlisted to the final two event medical cover providers for “Medical Supplier of the Year”. The award is made by the National Outdoor Events Association who are the UK’s leading trade association for the outdoor events industry.

We decided to join the National Outdoor Event Association and are now fully fledged members. MET Medical has rapidly become one of the leading choices for event medical and event first aid cover in the UK.

We have three main areas to our business. We provide first class medical cover to the events industry covering all events from small sporting fixtures to large festivals requiring field hospitals and multiple ambulances.

We are currently taking bookings for a busy summer period. Here’s a brief list of things which you can expect from MET!

MET Medical hires student paramedics once they have frontline 999 experience from placement with an NHS ambulance trust.

The North West Ambulance service are advising callers to only ring 999 for ‘real emergencies’

Near-record 999 calls in the West Midlands have led A&E units and the ambulance service to say they are “stretched to the limit”.
