Hi all, just a few quick questions you should all be asking your event venue supplier in

relation to medical cover……….



Question: Are your first aid staff insured and capable / available to treat members of the public?

We are finding that more and more venues are doubling up their door staff as their first aid staff but you may find that these guys are


Not fully insured, MMS as a limited company are fully insured and can supply copies of our insurance certificates and qualifications

Not adequately trained to treat the members of the public (remember most people these days either have a first aid at work certificate or they are simply trained as an appointed persons)

Too busy dealing with their 1st role of door staff and not able to offer your guests the kind of treatment they deserve


Question: Has the venue carried out a full risk survey in line with the Purple Guide


Most venues don’t realise that it is there responsibility to either carry out a full risk assessment of to appoint someone to cover this vital role


Question: Does the event supply adequate 1st aid provisions?


A first aid kit for 1 to 35 people might be fine during the day but when your 200+ guests turn up its then woefully inadequate! M.M.S. can supply start of the art equipment and items that most basic 1st aiders are not trained in the use of such as A.E.D. (de-fibs) Medical Gasses (oxygen and Entonox) carrying equipment (chairs, slides etc)


Question: What advanced staff are there for a high risk event?

You’ll probably find the answer is none whereas M.M.S. can supply you staff from advanced first aiders to state registered paramedics and even doctors!!


So don’t delay ask these questions today and even if you get the right sounding answers we are always here to provide you with a no obligation quote even if it’s just to benchmark your current supplier
